Effect of the extracts from fungus Inonotus obliquus on catalase level in HeLa and nocardia cells.

Abstract

Growth medium of Inonotus obliquus exerts antimitotic effect on HeLa cells mostly in M, G1 and G2 phases increasing at the same time catalase activity. This effect was not observed in prokaryotic Nocardia. Significant antimitotic effect of mycelium was not associated with stimulation of catalase activity in HeLa cells.
