In-Depth Information
The EPS produced by submerged cul-
ture of Phellinus gilvus has notable biologi-
cal activities such as anti-tumour activity,
free-radical scavenging activity and prolif-
eration activity of the human fibroblast
cells. Furthermore, P. gilvus produced a
higher concentration of EPS and mycelial
biomass in comparison with other Phellinus
species (Hwang et al ., 2003).
