Identification and bioactivity of the growth inhibitors in Tuber spp. methanolic extracts

Listed in DataCite

The methanolic extracts of fresh fruiting bodies of Tuber melanosporum , T. aestivum , T. magnatum and T. borchii were evaluated for their free fatty acids (FFAs) content to test their contribution to truffle allelopathic activity.

Description

Linoleic acid was the major FFA detected in all truffle species. In addition to linoleic acid, oleic acid and palmitic acid were the other abundant FFAs in the Tuber spp. extracts.

Looking at the total production, T. melanosporum and T. aestivum synthesized significantly higher amounts of all identified FFA than T. magnatum and T. borchii. The allelopathic activity, based on the specific activity (EC 50 ) of the identified compounds, was evaluated in the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana , Lotus corniculatus , Melica ciliata and Silene vulgaris . Linoleic acid had the lowest specific activity and palmitic acid had the highest.

The black truffle extracts had a higher inhibitory activity than white truffles, and this could be explained by the high relative amount of FFAs in them.
