In recent years, the study of microbial polysaccharides on the further development, this paper medicinal microbial polysaccharides in the biological activity and mechanism of action and structure-activity relationships and other aspects of the latest research advances are reviewed. Keywords:: polysaccharide; microorganisms; medicinal; biological activity Advances in the research of active polysaccharides derived from microbes ABSTRACT Over the past few years, many advances have been made toward research on active polysaccharides especially microbial polysaccharides, it becomes a hot spot in new drug research and development. This review will focus on recent studies that illustrate the biological activities, mechanisms of action and structurefunction relationships of microbial polysaccharides for drug use. KEY WORDS Polysaccharide; Microorganism; Drug use; Biological activities Polysaccharide widely distributed in higher plants, lichens, algae, animals and microorganisms. Microbial polysaccharides is by far the more detailed studied a class of polysaccharides, which makes it a wide range of biological activity of microbial agents has become an important part, and in new drug R amp; D more and more attention. In this paper, micro-organisms so far discovered the medicinal biological activity of polysaccharides are reviewed and summarized in recent years on the polysaccharide structure-activity relationship and mechanism of research results. An immune regulatory function Immunomodulating agent in the treatment of the disease more and more attention. Polysaccharide immune modulators in more than 40 years ago, was first
