Study on the effects of environmental factors on enzyme activities during growth of Hypsizygus marmoreus

The sensitivity of Hypsizygus marmoreus to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, illumination and CO(2) concentration varies greatly in different growth stages. In this paper, the effects of various environmental factors on the growth and development of H. marmoreus were investigated by measuring the enzyme activities of H. marmoreus at different growth stages under different microenvironment conditions in the mushroom room, so as to confirm the influence mechanism of environmental factors on the growth of H. marmoreus. The results showed that at budding stage xylanase and laccase were found significantly positively correlated with CO(2) concentration and light intensity, and dramatically negatively correlated with humidity while carboxymethyl cellulose and manganese peroxidase were markedly positively correlated with humidity, and significantly negatively correlated with CO(2) concentration and light intensity. On the other hand, in mature fruit bodies xylanase activity was found significantly positively correlated with CO(2) concentration and light intensity, and dramatically negatively correlated with humidity while manganese peroxidase activities were found significantly positively correlated with humidity, and dramatically negatively correlated with light intensity. The activity of β-glucosidase in budding and mature fruiting bodies was markedly negatively correlated with CO(2) concentration and significantly positively correlated with humidity.
