Obesity is an important risk factor in tumor development. Botryosphaeran, a (1 → 3)(1 → 6)-β-D-glucan, produced by the fungus Botryosphaeria rhodina (MAMB-05), is a high molecular mass, water-soluble exopolysaccharide. It consists of a main chain of (1 → 3)-linked β-d-glucose units, with a degree of branching of ~22% at carbon-6 with glucose and gentiobiose residues linked through β-(1 → 6)-bonds, and presents a triple helix conformation. Botryosphaeran presents anticlastogenic, antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic and anti-obesogenic a
