Objective: To observe the inhibitory effect and potential mechanism of Yiqi Huayu Jiedu Decoction (YHJD) on liver metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: We compared the changes of liver ...

Under in vitro conditions, all the four actinomycetes were found to produce siderophore, cellulase, lipase, protease, IAA, β-1,3-glucanase, chitinase (except VAI-40) and HCN (except VAI-40 and VAI-7).
