Characterization of biocompatible fungi-derived polymers that induce IL-8 production
2005-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Sixteen strains of fungi from 15 different genera were isolated from natural habitats in Thailand to study their biopolymers. Polymer production, chemical composition, and physical and biological properties related to their potential as wound dressing materials were investigated. All polymers were shown to be composed of polysaccharides except those produced from Fusarium coccophilum BCC2415 which was a protein-po...
