摘要

Amphipathic glucose derivatives 3-O-octyl- and 3-O-decyl-D-glucose were synthesized, and the ability to induce fruit bodies on Pleurotus ostreatus was examined. Surfactants such as CHAPS, CHAPSO, MEGA-8, MEGA-9, and MEGA-10 were also assayed. The result was that both glucose derivatives could stimulate fruiting on P. ostreatus, while none of the surfactants assayed in this study stimulated the fruiting of P. ostreatus. These results suggest that sugar moiety is necessary for amphipathic compounds to work as a fruiting signal for P. ostreatus.
