Cell viability, cellular melanin content, and cellular tyrosinase activity in B16F10 cells: (a) cell viability; (b) melanin content; (c) tyrosinase activity. (−): negative control without α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH); (+): positive control with α-MSH; NF: nonfermented hydroponic ginseng (HG); KU43: HG fermented with B. subtilis KU43; KU201: HG fermented with B. subtilis KU201; SCD: HG fermented with B. polyfermenticus SCD; KU3: HG fermented with B. polyfermenticus KU3. The data are represented as means ± standard deviations of triplicates. Statistical differences (p < 0.05) are represented with different letters above error bars.
