Popis: L-asparaginase is an anticancer drug used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The commercial available L-asparaginase derived from bacteria has reported to induce several life-threatening side effects and irreversible complications. This thesis examines the utilization of endophytic fungi isolated from medicinal plants as an alternative source of L-asparaginase. It demonstrates the ability of endophytic fungi to produce L-asparaginase, factors affecting L-asparaginase production, purification process and anticancer effect of fungal-derived L-asparaginase.
