In this study, a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) was isolated from the fermentation broth of Trichoderma pseudokoningii and its anticancer activities on human leukemia K562 cells were studied. EPS could significantly inhibited K562 cells proliferation in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Meanwhile, characteristic of apoptosis, including apoptotic morphological features and the apoptosis rate were obtained.

- Antarctic bacteria, specifically Pseudoaltermonas sp.S-5, produce a polysaccharide (PEP) that could serve as a biological response modifier (BRM).
- PEP consists of a mix of Mannose, Glucose, and Galactose in a specific ratio and has a molecular weight of 397 kDa, showing unique gel permeation characteristics.
- Experimental studies revealed that PEP enhances macrophage activation and increases nitric oxide production while inducing the secretion of key inflammatory cytokines, indicating its potential as a BRM.
