Abstract
Endophytic fungi and their secondary metabolites represent a valuable microbial resource with diverse bioactivities and potential applications. In this study, Talaromyces sp. CCTCC M2025051 was isolated from wheat bran, and its extracellular polysaccharide (TSP) was investigated. Compositional analysis revealed that the yield of TSP was 3.34 ± 0.17 g/L, comprising 93.11 ± 2.93% carbohydrate and 2.82 ± 0.07% protein. TSP was identified as a heteropolysaccharide composed of arabinose, galactose, glucose, mannose, and glucuronic acid in a molar ratio of 0.0985: 4.0208: 35.6949: 2.0528: 0.1718, with a molecular weight of 235.187 kDa and a polydispersity of 1.886. In vitro assays demonstrated that TSP effectively scavenged ABTS, DPPH, hydroxyl, and superoxide radicals in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, TSP exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages by reducing the production of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). This effect was accompanied by the modulation of oxidative stress markers, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and malondialdehyde (MDA). This work provides a scientific basis for the potential application of TSP as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Polymers and the Environment fills the need for an international forum in this diverse and rapidly expanding field. The journal serves a crucial role for the publication of information from a wide range of disciplines and is a central outlet for the publication of high-quality peer-reviewed original papers, review articles and short communications. The journal is intentionally interdisciplinary in regard to contributions and covers the following subjects - polymers, environmentally degradable polymers, and degradation pathways: biological, photochemical, oxidative and hydrolytic; new environmental materials: derived by chemical and biosynthetic routes; environmental blends and composites; developments in processing and reactive processing of environmental polymers; characterization of environmental materials: mechanical, physical, thermal, rheological, morphological, and others; recyclable polymers and plastics recycling environmental testing: in-laboratory simulations, outdoor exposures, and standardization of methodologies; environmental fate: end products and intermediates of biodegradation; microbiology and enzymology of polymer biodegradation; solid-waste management and public legislation specific to environmental polymers; and other related topics.
