ABSTRACT:
In this study, protein and total phenolic contents of some commercially 
cultivated (Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus) and wild mushrooms 
(Amanita caesarea, Fistulina hepatica, Meripilus giganteus) were determined. 
Antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of these mushrooms were also 
investigated. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, 
Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhimurium, Acinetobacter haemolyticus, 
Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans were used for 
antimicrobial analysis. The protein contents ranged from 11.00% to 25.1%, 
total polyphenols amount; 1.111 ± 0.017 - 3.858 ± 0.130 mg GAE g-1, and 
antioxidant activities; 1.528 ± 0.042 - 9.340 ± 1.069 ?mol FeSO·7H2O g-1. 
Meripilus giganteus had higher protein and nitrogen content than all mushrooms 
tested. The highest phenolic content was detected in Agaricus bisporus (3.858 
± 0.130 mg GAE g-1), and the lowest was seen in Meripilus giganteus (1.111 ± 
0.017 m!
 g GAE
g-1). Methanolic extracts of mushrooms showed no inhibitory activity against 
bacteria and yeast.
