Abstract

Betaine-type lipids—diacylglyceryltrimethylhomoserines (DGTS)—were revealed in the mycelium of the basidial fungus Flammulina velutipes obtained by surface cultivation on agarized malt extract. DGTS accumulation was shown to occur at the late stages of culture development under deficiency of a complex of nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements. Induction of the synthesis of betaine lipids in F. velutipes occurred against the background of a decreased rate of growth of the vegetative mycelium, formation of monilioid hyphae, and inhibition of fructification. The relationship between DGTS formation and the environmental factors (temperature, illumination) was studied. It was established that the most active DGTS accumulation occurred at 15°C in the dark.
