Abstract:
The extracellular polymeric substances of white rot fungi play an important role in the adsorption of heavy metals, but the influence of culture conditions on extracellular polymeric substances production is still unknown. In this paper, we researched on the influence of temperature, incubation time, the rotational speed and the inoculation volume on the yield of extracellular polymeric substances produced by Phanerochaete chrysosporium, a model strain of white rot fungi. The results show that the optimum culture conditions for Phanerochaete chrysosporium to produce extracellular polymeric sub

Abstract:
Sulfated polysaccharides and other polyanions have been promising candidates in antiviral research for decades. These substances gained attention as antivirals when they demonstrated a high inhibitory effect in vitro against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other enveloped viruses. However, that initial interest was followed by wide skepticism when in vivo assays refuted the initial results. In this paper we review the use of sulfated polysaccharides, and other polyanions, in antiviral therapy, focusing on extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). We maintain that, in spite of those ear
