Electrophoretic patterns of plasmid DNA in the presence of LPE. A, water; B, water and ethanol; C, water and damage solution; D, ethanol and damage solution; E, 100 μg/ml ascorbic acid and damage solution (negative control); F, the water-extracted fraction of LPE with damage solution; H, J and L, the water-extracted fractions of the A. awamori-fermented LPE (after 3, 6 and 15 days of fermentation) with damage solution; G, the ethyl acetate-extracted fraction of LPE with damage solution; and I, K and M, the ethyl acetate-extracted fraction of the A. awamori-fermented LPE (3, 6 and 15 days) with damage solution.
