Exopolysaccharide from Ganoderma applanatum as a Promising Bioactive Compound with Cytostatic and Antibacterial Properties

Figure 2

Morphology of exopolysaccharides fibers using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The tested samples of GpEPS were stained with Fluorescence Brightener 28 commonly used in order to detection of β-linked polysaccharides. For visualization of the GpEPS, the inverted microscope Axiovert 200 M equipped with an LSM 5 Pascal head (with magnification 200x) was used. The letter (A) indicates the luminous fibers exhibiting visible β-linked polysaccharide fragments.
