In this study, a homogeneous polysaccharide (designated as GAP-3S) with an average molecular weight of 6.82×105 Da was purified from Ganoderma applanatum. GAP-3S was composed of glucose, galactose, fucose and xylose in the molar ratio of 7.1:2.6:1.1:1. It could significantly inhibit the proliferatio...

A diverse array of aquatic ecosystems are inhabited by the euglenophytes, a group of autotrophic and eukaryotic organisms. In inland waterbodies, the red bloom is caused by a rapid development or accumulation of euglenophytes. Recent studies have designated euglenophytes as bioindicator of organic p...
