Abstract: The effects of various operating conditions on decolorization of exopolysaccharides (EPS) from Lactobacillus plantarum 70810 by macroporous resin adsorption were explored in the current work. In addition, the anti-tumor effects of crude EPS from Lactobacillus plantarum 70810 and two fractions thereof obtained by sequential column chromatographies on DEAE-Cellulose and Sephadex G-100, named as EPS-1 and EPS-2, respectively, on large intestine carcinoma cells HT-29 in vitro were tested by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The results showed that macroporous resin S-8 provided optimal decolorization of crude EPS from Lactobacillus plantarum 70810 among all resins tested. After 4 h decolorization under the following conditions: macroporous resin S-8 amount 4 g/100 mL, sample pH adjustment until pH 6, 25 ℃ and polysaccharide concentration in samples 2 mg/mL, the decolorization rate and retention rate of EPS were 72.58% and 69.15%, respectively. Crude EPS, EPS-1 and EPS-2 exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on the cell growth of large intestine carcinoma cells HT-29 in vitro (P<0.01) in a dose-dependent manner.

Key words: Lactobacillus plantarum, exopolysaccharides, macroporous adsorption resin, decolorization, anti-tumor activity
