Genoprotective Properties and Metabolites of β-Glucan-Rich Edible Mushrooms Following Their In Vitro Fermentation by Human Faecal Microbiota

Genoprotective Properties and Metabolites of β-Glucan-Rich Edible Mushrooms Following Their In Vitro Fermentation by Human Faecal Microbiota

A variety of bioactive compounds, constituents of edible mushrooms, in particular β-glucans, i.e., a group of β-<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">d</span>-glucose polysaccharides abundant in the fungal cell walls, have been linked to immunomodulating, anticancer and prebi...
