Microwave assisted nano (ZnO–TiO2) catalyzed synthesis of some new 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-6-((5-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl)thieno[2,3-c]pyridine as antimicrobial agents

Combined nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide [nano (ZnO–TiO₂)] has been reported first time for the synthesis of novel series of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-6-((5-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl)thieno[2,3-c]pyridine.

Screening antibacterial activity of entomopathogenic bacteria isolated from pests of hazelnut

Thirty-seven entomopathogenic bacteria isolated from six common pests of hazelnut in the Black Sea Region of Turkey have been screened for their potential of antibacterial substance production against indicator bacteria by the agar spot assay and well diffusion assay. Results indicated that 13.5% of entomopathogenic bacteria, Pseudomonas fluorescens (Pf-Xd1), Bacillus polymyxa (Bp-Ar2), Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt-Bn1), Serratia marcescens (Sm-Mm3) and Pseudomonas flourescens (Pf-Aa4) isolated from pests of Xyleborus dispar, Anoplus roboris, Balaninus nucum, Melolontha melolontha and Agelastica alni, respectively, showed significant levels of inhibitor activities against indicator bacteria. Well diffusion assay showed that supernatants of Bp-Ar2, Bt-Bn1 and Sm-Mm3 have antibacterial activity, whereas Pf-Xd1 and Pf-Aa4 did not show any activity. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of the substance produced by the Bp-Ar2 has a narrow spectrum, whereas those of Bt-Bn1 and Sm-Mm3 exhibit broad spectrum. The production of these antibacterial substances were similarly determined at early logarithmic phase in the growth cycle of three bacteria and continued until the beginning of the stationary phase as primer metabolite. In addition, optimal pH (at 7–9 forBt-Bn1 and 5–9 forSm-Mm3), medium (Muller Hinton broth forBt-Bn1 and Luria Bertani broth forSm-Mm3), temperature (25°C for Bt-Bn1 and Sm-Mm3) and production time (24h forBt-Bn1 and 72h forSm-Mm3) of these substances were determined. Our results demonstrate that entomopathogenic bacteria are a potential source of antibacterial substances.     

The effects of preservation procedures on antibacterial property of amniotic membrane

Amniotic membrane (AM), the innermost layer of the fetal membranes, has been widely employed in the surgical reconstruction and tissue engineering. Expression of the antimicrobial peptides such as defensins, elafin and SLPI which are essential elements of the innate immune system results in antibacterial properties of the AM. Preservation is necessary to reach a ready-to-use source of the AM. However, these methods might change the properties of the AM. The aim of this study was to evaluate antibacterial properties of the AM after preservation. Antibacterial property of the fresh AM was compared with cryopreserved and freeze-dried AM by modified disk diffusion method. Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and two clinical isolated strains of E. coli were cultured in Mueller Hinton agar and a piece of the AM was placed on agar surface. After 24 h incubation, the inhibition zone was measured. In addition, one of the most important antibacterial peptides, elafin, was measured by ELISA assay before and after preservations procedures. Antibacterial properties of the AM were maintained after cryopreservation and freeze-drying. However, the inhibition zone was depending on the bacterial strains. The cryopreservation and freeze-drying procedures significantly decreased elafin which shows that antibacterial property is not limited to the effects of amniotic cells and the other components such as extracellular matrix may contribute in antibacterial effects. The promising results of this study show that the preserved AM is a proper substitute of the fresh AM to be employed in clinical situations.     

Microbial Consortium-Induced Changes in Oxidative Stress Markers in Pea Plants Challenged with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

The ability for rhizobacteria and fungus to act as bioprotectants via induced systemic resistance has been demonstrated, and considerable progress has been made in elucidating the mechanisms of plant–biocontrol agent–pathogen interactions. Pseudomonas aeruginosa PJHU15, Trichoderma harzianum TNHU27, and Bacillus subtilis BHHU100 from rhizospheric soils were used singly and in consortium and assessed on the basis of their ability to provide disease protection by relating changes in ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) production, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzymes in pea under the challenge of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Increased production of H₂O₂ 24 h after pathogen challenge was observed and was 254.4 and 231.7–287.7 % higher in the triple consortium and singly treated plants, respectively, when compared to untreated challenged control plants. A similar increase in ascorbic acid content and ascorbate peroxidase activity was observed 24 and 48 h after pathogen challenge, respectively, whereas increased activities of catalase, guaiacol peroxidase, and glutathione peroxidase were observed 72 h after pathogen challenge. Similarly, lipid peroxidation reached a maximum at 72 h of pathogen challenge and was 61.2 and 11.2–32.1 % less in the triple consortium and singly treated plants, respectively, when compared to untreated challenged control plants. These findings suggest that the interaction of microorganisms in the rhizosphere enhanced protection from oxidative stress generated by pathogen attack through induction of antioxidant enzymes and improved reactive oxygen species management.     

Selective removal and inactivation of bacteria by nanoparticle composites prepared by surface modification of montmorillonite with quaternary ammonium compounds

The purpose of the present study was to prepare new nanocomposites with antibacterial activities by surface modification of montmorillonite using quaternary ammonium compounds that are widely applied as disinfectants and antiseptics in food-processing environments. The intercalation of four quaternary ammonium compounds namely benzalkonium chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, tetraethylammonium chloride hydrate into montmorillonite layers was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The antibacterial influences of the modified clay variants against important foodborne pathogens differed based on modifiers quantities, microbial cell densities, and length of contact. Elution experiments through 0.1 g of the studied montmorillonite variants indicated that Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, and Listeria monocytogenes were the most sensitive strains. 1 g of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide intercalated montmorillonites demonstrated maximum inactivation of L. monocytogenes populations, with 4.5 log c.f.u./ml units of reduction. In adsorption experiments, 0.1 g of tetraethylammonium chloride hydrate montmorillonite variants significantly reduced the growth of Escherichia coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes, and S. aureus populations by 5.77, 6.33, and 7.38 log units respectively. Growth of wide variety of microorganisms was strongly inhibited to undetectable levels (<log 2.0 c.f.u./g) when adsorbed to 1 g of benzalkonium chloride montmorillonite variants. This investigation highlights that reduction in counts of microbial populations adsorbed to the new nanocomposites was substantially different from that in elution experiments, where interactions of nanocomposites with bacteria were specific and more complex than simple ability to inactivate. Treatment columns packed with modified variants maintained their inactivation capacity to the growth of Salmonella Tennessee and S. aureus populations after 48 h of incubation at room temperature with maximum reductions of 6.3 and 5.0 log units respectively. New nanocomposites presented in this research may have potential applications in industrial scale for the control of foodborne pathogens by their incorporation into high-performance filters in food processing plant environments where selectivity in removal and/or inactivation of species in fluid flow streams is desirable. Nevertheless, extensive in vitro and in vivo studies of these new nanocomposites is essential to outpace the understanding of their potential impacts and consequences on human health and the environment if they will make an appearance in commercialized food packaging and containment food materials in the future.     

Isolation of Bacteria Able to Metabolize High Concentrations of Formaldehyde

Summary Nineteen bacterial strains able to degrade and metabolize formaldehyde as a sole carbon source were isolated from soil and wastewater of a formaldehyde production factory. The samples were cultured in complex and mineral salts media containing 370 mg formaldehyde/l. The bacterial strains were identified to be Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes, P. aeruginosa, P. testosteroni, P. putida, and Methylobacterium extorquens. After adaptation of these microorganisms to high concentrations of formaldehyde; two isolated strains of M. extorquens (strains ESS and PSS) and four strains of P. pseudoalcaligenes (strains LSW, SSW, NSW and OSS) degraded 1850 mg formaldehyde/l, where as P. pseudoalcaligenes strain OSS completely consumed 3700 mg of formaldehyde/l after 24 h and degraded 70% of 5920 mg of formaldehyde/l after 72 h.
