    Abstract: Isaria cicadae Miquel is an important medicinal food fungus. The crude polysaccharides from I. cicadae were shown to significantly extend the lifespan of fruit flies in our previous study. To understand the underlying mechanism, the composition and structural characterization of polysaccharides from I. cicadae were determined. A water-soluble crude... Show More
