The emergence of multidrug resistant pathogens threatened the clinical efficacy of many existing antibiotics. This situation has been recognized globally as a serious concern and justifies further research to discover antimicrobial agents from natural origins including plant extracts. The aim of our work was to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of Scabiosa arenaria Forssk . extracts and pure compounds using a bioguided fractionation, and try to explain some traditional use of this genus. The best antimicrobial activity‐guided fractionation was obtained by BuOH fractions of flowers, fruits and (stems and leaves) against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values from 0.0195 to 5 mg/ml. Escherichia coli was the most affected bug, thus the MIC of fruits BuOH extract showed the best anti‐Escherichia coli activity (MIC = 0.0195 mg/ml), followed by the (stems and leaves) and flowers BuOH extracts; MIC = 0.078 and 0.15 mg/ml, respectively. Furthermore, the subfractions obtained from these three mixed fractions showed also an important antimicrobial activity against the three microorganisms, with MIC values between 0.0195 and 0.312 mg/ml. The fractionation of the aerial part BuOH fraction led to the isolation of oleanolic acid ( 1 ) and luteolin 7‐O‐glucopyranoside ( 2 ) which are reported here for the first time from S. arenaria. Both compounds showed good antimicrobial activities with MIC values ranging from 170 to 683 μm and 86 to 347 μm , respectively. These results support the use of the Scabiosa genus to inhibit the growth of tested pathogenic bacteria and yeasts which may reduce illnesses associated with their exposure. 相似文献

Korean kimchi is known for its myriad of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with diverse bioactive compounds. This study was undertaken to isolate an efficient antifungal LAB strain among the isolated kimchi LABs. One thousand and four hundred LABs isolated from different kimchi samples were initially screened against Aspergillus niger. The strain exhibiting the highest antifungal activity was identified as Lactobacillus plantarum YML007 by 16S rRNA sequencing and biochemical assays using API 50 CHL kit. Lact. plantarum YML007 was further screened against Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium oxysporum and other pathogenic bacteria. The morphological changes during the inhibition were assessed by scanning electron microscopy. Preliminary studies on the antifungal compound demonstrated its proteinaceous nature with a molecular weight of 1256·617 Da, analysed by matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization‐time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF). The biopreservative activity of Lact. plantarum YML007 was evaluated using dried soybeans. Spores of A. niger were observed in the negative control after 15 days of incubation. However, fungal growth was not observed in the soybeans treated with fivefold concentrated cell‐free supernatant of Lact. plantarum YML007. The broad activity of Lact. plantarum YML007 against various food spoilage moulds and bacteria suggests its scope as a food preservative.
Significance and Impact of the Study
After screening 1400 kimchi bacterial isolates, strain Lactobacillus plantarum YML007 was selected with strong antifungal activity against various foodborne pathogens. From the preliminary studies, it was found that the bioactive compound is a low molecular weight novel protein of 1256·617 Da. Biopreservative potential of Lact. plantarum YML007 was demonstrated on soybean grains, and the results point out YML007 as a potent biopreservative having broad antimicrobial activity against various foodborne pathogens. 相似文献3.

Aims: To evaluate the antimicrobial properties of flavonoid‐rich fractions derived from natural and blanched almond skins, the latter being a by‐product from the almond processing industry. Methods and Results: Almond skin extracts were tested against Gram‐negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Serratia marcescens), Gram‐positive bacteria (Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus hirae, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus durans) and the yeast Candida albicans. Almond skin fractions were found to have antimicrobial activity against L. monocytogenes and Staph. aureus in the range 250–500 μg ml?1, natural skins showing antimicrobial potential against the Gram‐negative Salm. enterica. The interactions between three almond skin flavonoids were also evaluated with isobolograms. Conclusions: Pairwise combinations of protocatechuic acid, naringenin and epicatechin showed both synergistic and indifferent interactions against Salm. enterica and Staph. aureus. Antagonism was observed against L. monocytogenes with all combinations tested. Further studies need to be performed to understand the mechanisms responsible for these interactions. Significance and Impact of the Study: Almond skins are a potential source of natural antimicrobials. 相似文献

The essential oil isolated from the bark of Cinnamomum glanduliferum (Wall ) Meissn grown in Egypt was screened for its composition as well as its biological activity for the first time. The chemical composition was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The antimicrobial activity of the oil was assessed using agar‐well diffusion method toward representatives for each of Gram‐positive bacteria, Gram‐negative bacteria, and fungi. The cytotoxic activity was checked using three human cancer cell lines. Twenty seven compounds were identified, representing 99.07% of the total detected components. The major constituents were eucalyptol (65.87%), terpinen‐4‐ol (7.57%), α‐terpineol (7.39%). The essential oil possessed strong antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli, with an activity index of one and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) equaling to 0.49 μg/ml. The essential oil possessed good antimicrobial activities against methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Geotrichum candidum, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Helicobacter pylori, Aspergillus fumigatus (MIC: 7.81, 1.95, 7.81, 0.98, 31.25, and 32.5 μg/ml, respectively). A considerable activity was reported against S. aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MIC; 32.5 and 31.25 μg/ml, respectively). The extracted oil was cytotoxic to colon (HCT‐116), liver (HepG2), and breast (MCF‐7) carcinoma cell lines with IC50 of 9.1, 42.4, and 57.3 μg/ml, respectively. These results revealed that Egyptian Cinnamomum glanduliferum bark oil exerts antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities mainly due to eucalyptol and other major compounds. 相似文献

Three hundred and fifty‐nine isolates of actinobacteria collected from different Moroccan soils were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against the oomycete pathogen Aphanomyces euteiches, the causal agent of damping‐off of pea and other legumes. Eighty‐seven isolates (24%) had an inhibitory in vitro effect against A. euteiches. Fourteen bioactive isolates with the greatest inhibitory effect against A. euteiches and no inhibitory effect on plant beneficial rhizobia were tested for their ability to protect pea seeds and seedlings against the damping‐off disease using culture supernatants or spore suspensions as treatments. The two most protective isolates, OB21 and BA15, significantly reduced, compared to untreated control plants, damping‐off by 33% and 47%, respectively. The two bioactive isolates were classified as species of the genus Streptomyces based on 16S rDNA analysis and morphological and chemical characteristics. 相似文献

The need of new anti‐inflammatory drugs has led to the search for safer and more potent molecules in distinct sources, such as natural products. This work aimed to explore the anti‐inflammatory potential of aqueous extracts from two herbal teas (Annona muricata L. and Jasminum grandiflorum L.) in RAW 264.7 macrophages cells and in cell‐free assays. Furthermore, the phenolic composition of both extracts and of their hydrolysates was characterized by HPLC‐DAD, in order to establish possible relationships with the biological activity. In a general way, A. muricata displayed a stronger capacity to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production and the activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), displaying an IC50 value of 142 μg/ml against this enzyme. A deeper look at phenolic compounds revealed that aglycones had more capacity to inhibit NO and PLA2 than their corresponding glycosides, quercetin being clearly the most potent one (IC50 = 7.47 and 1.36 μm , respectively). In addition, 5‐O‐caffeoylquinic acid, at 1.56 μm , could also inhibit PLA2 (ca. 35%). Our findings suggest that the consumption of both herbal teas may be a preventive approach to inflammatory disorders. 相似文献

A novel antibacterial peptide specific to Streptococcus pyogenes was produced from dried fruit protein of Brucea javanica (L.) Merr. A mixture of active peptides from the fruit protein was produced in vitro by pepsin hydrolysis. The hydrolysate was purified by reverse‐phase HPLC, and antimicrobial peptides active against Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacteria were analysed using SDS‐PAGE and nanoLC‐MS/MS. Here, four possible peptides were obtained and chemically synthesized for comparative study of the growth inhibition of Strep. pyogenes. One chemically synthesized peptide with a molecular mass of 1168·31 Da, His‐Thr‐Leu‐Cys‐Met‐Asp‐Gly‐Gly‐Ala‐Thr‐Tyr, showed the most potent antibacterial activity against Strep. pyogenes. This 11‐amino acid peptide was named Brucin. Its bacterial inhibitory activity was 16‐fold and 12·5‐fold higher than penicillin G and chloramphenicol, respectively, with a MIC value of 20 μmol l?1. The results suggest that Brucin, a potent antibiotic peptide, may be developed as an alternative drug for the treatment of the disease caused by Strep. pyogenes.
Significance and Impact of the Study
An antibacterial peptide, named Brucin with specificity for Streptococcus pyogenes, was produced in vitro from dried fruit protein of Brucea javanica (L.) Merr. by pepsin‐catalysed hydrolysis. Its inhibitory activity towards the Gram‐positive bacteria was higher than penicillin G and chloramphenicol. The result suggested that Brucin may be applied for the treatment of the disease caused by Strep. pyogenes*. 相似文献8.

We evaluated the antimicrobial activity of 25 monoketone curcuminoids (MKCs) against a representative panel of cariogenic bacteria in terms of their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values. Curcumin A ( 10 ) displayed promising activity against Streptococcus mutans (MIC = 50 μg/ml) and Streptococcus mitis (MIC = 50 μg/ml) as well as moderate activity against S. sanguinis (MIC = 100 μg/ml), Lactobacillus casei (MIC = 100 μg/ml), and Streptococcus salivarius (MIC = 200 μg/ml). Results indicated higher activity of compound 10 than that of its bis‐β‐diketone analog. Additionally, compounds 3a (1,5‐bis(4‐methylphenyl)pentan‐3‐one) and 7b (1,5‐bis(4‐bromophenyl)pentan‐3‐ol) were moderately active against S. mitis (MIC = 100 μg/ml) and S. salivarus (MIC = 200 μg/ml). 相似文献

Chitin, a major component of fungal cell walls, is a well‐known pathogen‐associated molecular pattern (PAMP) that triggers defense responses in several mammal and plant species. Here, we show that two chitooligosaccharides, chitin and chitosan, act as PAMPs in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) as they elicit immune signalling events, defense gene expression and resistance against fungal diseases. To identify their cognate receptors, the grapevine family of LysM receptor kinases (LysM‐RKs) was annotated and their gene expression profiles were characterized. Phylogenetic analysis clearly distinguished three V. vinifera LysM‐RKs (VvLYKs) located in the same clade as the Arabidopsis CHITIN ELICITOR RECEPTOR KINASE1 (AtCERK1), which mediates chitin‐induced immune responses. The Arabidopsis mutant Atcerk1, impaired in chitin perception, was transformed with these three putative orthologous genes encoding VvLYK1‐1, ‐2, or ‐3 to determine if they would complement the loss of AtCERK1 function. Our results provide evidence that VvLYK1‐1 and VvLYK1‐2, but not VvLYK1‐3, functionally complement the Atcerk1 mutant by restoring chitooligosaccharide‐induced MAPK activation and immune gene expression. Moreover, expression of VvLYK1‐1 in Atcerk1 restored penetration resistance to the non‐adapted grapevine powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator). On the whole, our results indicate that the grapevine VvLYK1‐1 and VvLYK1‐2 participate in chitin‐ and chitosan‐triggered immunity and that VvLYK1‐1 plays an important role in basal resistance against E. necator. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to study the antifungal properties of durancins isolated from Enterococcus durans A5‐11 and of their chemically synthesized fragments. Enterococcus durans A5‐11 is a lactic acid bacteria strain isolated from traditional Mongolian airag cheese. This strain inhibits the growth of several fungi including Fusarium culmorum, Penicillium roqueforti and Debaryomyces hansenii. It produces two bacteriocins: durancin A5‐11a and durancin A5‐11b, which have similar antimicrobial properties. The whole durancins A5‐11a and A5‐11b, as well as their N‐ and C‐terminal fragments were synthesized, and their antifungal properties were studied. C‐terminal fragments of both durancins showed stronger antifungal activities than other tested peptides. Treatment of D. hansenii LMSA2.11.003 strain with 2 mmol l?1 of the synthetic peptides led to the loss of the membrane integrity and to several changes in the ultra‐structure of the yeast cells. Chemically synthesized durancins and their synthetic fragments showed different antimicrobial properties from each other. N‐terminal peptides show activities against both bacterial and fungal strains tested. C‐terminal peptides have specific activities against tested fungal strain and do not show antibacterial activity. However, the C‐terminal fragment enhances the activity of the N‐terminal fragment in the whole bacteriocins against bacteria.
Significance and Impact of the Study
Antifungal properties of durancins isolated from Enterococcus durans A5‐11 and of their chemically synthesized fragments were determined. Treatment of D. hansenii LMSA2.11.003 strain with 2 mmol l?1 of the synthetic peptides led to the loss of the membrane integrity and to several changes in the ultra‐structure of the yeast cells. This work contributes to improve understanding of molecular causes of antimicrobial activities of bacteriocins and their fragments. It may be proposed that the studied peptides affect all the yeast cellular and intramembranes including cytoplasmatic reticulum and nuclear and vacuolar membranes. 相似文献11.

Volatiles produced by mycelia of mushrooms with aromatic odour were investigated for their antifungal activity against plant‐pathogenic fungi. The results of the screening of 23 species of basidiomycetes revealed that volatile substances from mycelia of Mycoleptodonoides aitchisonii (TUFC10099), an edible mushroom, strongly inhibited the mycelial growth, spore germination and lesion formation on host leaves of some plant‐pathogenic fungi including Alternaria alternata, A. brassicicola, A. brassicae, Colletotrichum orbiculare and Corynespora cassiicola. The volatile compounds were isolated from the culture filtrate of M. aitchisonii, and 1‐phenyl‐3‐pentanone was identified as a major antifungal volatile. The compound had significantly inhibitory activity against plant‐pathogenic fungi at 35 ppm. This is the first report that the volatile compound produced by mycelia of M. aitchisonii has antifungal activity against plant‐pathogenic fungi. 相似文献

Aims
We tested extracts from Alpinia katsumadai seeds for anti‐Campylobacter activity and investigated the roles of the CmeABC and CmeDEF efflux pumps in Campylobacter resistance to these natural phenolics. Additionally, we investigated an A. katsumadai ethanolic extract (AlpE) and other plant extracts as putative efflux pump inhibitors on Campylobacter isolates and mutants in efflux pump genes.Methods and Results
AlpE showed antimicrobial activity against sensitive and multidrug‐resistant Campylobacter isolates. CmeB inactivation resulted in the greatest reduction in resistance, while cmeF and cmeR mutations produced only moderate effects on minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). The chemical efflux pump inhibitors additionally reduced MICs in isolates and mutants, confirming that active efflux is an important mechanism in resistance to AlpE, with additional contributions of other efflux systems. A notable decrease in resistance to tested antimicrobials in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of AlpE confirms its modifying activity in Campylobacter spp.Conclusions
AlpE is important anti‐Campylobacter source of antimicrobial compounds with resistance‐modifying activity. At least two of the efflux systems are involved in the resistance to A. katsumadai antimicrobial seed extracts.Significance and Impact of the Study
This is the first report of antimicrobial and resistance‐modifying activity of AlpE from A. katsumadai seeds, demonstrating its potential in the control of Campylobacter in the food chain. 相似文献13.

Aims: The aim of this study is to isolate and identify an endophytic fungus with antibacterial activity from the Asian medicinal and culinary plant Lilium lancifolium and to study the characteristics of its major antibacterial fractions. Methods and Results: After strict sample sterilization, an endophytic fungus BH‐3 with great antibacterial activity against Leuconostoc mesenteroides was isolated from the bulbs of L. lancifolium and was identified as Fusarium oxysporum on the basis of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequence and morphological traits. After partial purification including superfiltration and gel filtration, the major antibacterial fractions were found to be the substances with the molecular mass ranging from 35 to 60 kDa, mainly 55 kDa. The partially purified antibacterial fractions were stable at thermal processes, with more than 80% of activity left at 60°C for 1 h, and even 70·75% left at 121°C for 15 min. 90·33–98·97% of activity was observed in the pH range of 4·0–7·0. But the fractions were sensitive to different proteases. Conclusions: Endophytic strain F. oxysporum BH‐3 isolated from the bulbs of L. lancifolium produced protein‐like antibacterial metabolites. The antibacterial assay against Leuc. mesenteroides indicated that the fractions were stable at thermal processes and wide pH conditions, but sensitive to proteolyses. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study provides an increasing understanding of endophytic F. oxysporum in L. lancifolium and its metabolites, which have a great potential in food industry as antibacterial agents. 相似文献

The chemical compositions and antimicrobial activities of the essential oils (EOs) of aerial parts of Salvia multicaulis Vahl , collected during the same week from two different Lebanese regions, were investigated. The EOs were obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger‐type apparatus and characterized by GC and GC/MS analyses. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of these EOs were determined against one Gram‐negative and two Gram‐positive bacteria, one yeast, and five dermatophytes using the broth microdilution technique. One EO was notably active against Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin‐resistant S. aureus, and all of the Trichophyton species tested. Nerolidol was found to be the major compound in the active oil; nerolidol was also absent from the inactive oil. This study demonstrated that nerolidol shows antimicrobial activity and therefore significantly contributes to the antimicrobial potential of the oil. The chemical diversity of worldwide S. multicaulis EOs was analyzed, revealing that the EOs of this study belong to two different chemotypes found in the literature. The nerolidol chemotype appears to be restricted to Lebanon, and it can be used as antimicrobial agent against external bacterial and fungal infections. 相似文献

- High temperature induces several proteins in plants that enhance tolerance to high temperature shock. The fate of proteins synthesised in microbial cells or secreted into culture media by interacting microbes has not been fully elucidated. The present investigation aimed to characterise plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) isolated from the rhizosphere of wheat genotypes (differing in tolerance to high temperature stress) and evaluate their performance as bioinoculant for use in wheat.
- Four bacterial strains, viz. Pseudomonas brassicacearum, Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus cereus strain W6 and Bacillus subtilis, were isolated from the rhizosphere of heat‐stressed and unstressed wheat genotypes. The wheat genotypes were exposed to high temperature stress at 45 °C for 10 days (3 h daily) at pre‐anthesis phase. Isolates were identified on the basis of morphology and biochemical characteristics, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and whole cell protein profiles. Results were further complemented by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) with fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) and SDS PAGE of 80% ammonium sulphate precipitates of the cell‐free supernatants.
- Isolates were positive for catalase, oxidases and antimicrobial activity . P. brassicacearum from the rhizosphere of the heat‐tolerant genotype was more efficient in phosphate solubilisation, bacteriocin production, antifungal and antibacterial activity against Helminthosporium sativum, Fusarium moniliforme and Klebsiella pneumonia, respectively. The inoculated seedlings had significantly higher root and shoot fresh weight, enhanced activity of antioxidant enzymes, proline and protein content. Total profiling of the culture with SDS‐PAGE indicated expression of new protein bands in 95 kDa in P. brassicacearum.
- Temperature‐induced changes in PGPR isolates are similar to those in the host plant. P. brassicacearum may be a good candidate for use in biofertiliser production for plants exposed to high temperature stress.

Chitin, colloidal chitin and water-soluble chitosan were hydrolyzed by crude enzyme solution produce by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens V656. The hydrolysates with 12 h hydrolysis contained optimal (GlcNAc)6 and showed higher antitumor activity. Among those chitinous materials, the most effective one was the hydrolysates of water-soluble chitosan, which inhibited the growth of CT26 cells and reduced the survival rate to 34% in 1 day. Since the hydrolysate of water-soluble chitosan contained the optimal hexamer/(GlcNAc)6 at 12 h, it is conjectured that the antitumor activity should be related to (GlcNAc)6. This conjecture was further affirmed by experiment with pure (GlcNAc)6. However, This phenomenon might be due to the synergistic effect of the oligomers (GlcNAc)n, n = 1–6 in the hydrolysates. The antitumor effect of the chitinous hydrolysates is worth further investigation.The aim of this study was to investigate the induced apoptosis in CT26 cells by the hydrolysates of chitinous materials. It was found that the hydrolysates (A, B and C) inhibited the survival of CT26 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The hydrolysates induced characteristic DNA fragmentation of the CT26 cells. These results suggested that the hydrolysates from chitinous materials are potent apoptosis-inducing agents for CT26 cells. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of 2,6‐dimethoxy‐1,4‐benzoquinone (DMBQ) on induced resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae in rice. DMBQ concentrations greater than 50 μg/ml inhibited spore germination and appressorium formation in M. oryzae. When rice leaves pretreated with 10 μg/ml DMBQ, which did not show antifungal activity against spore germination and appressorium formation of M. oryzae, were inoculated with M. oryzae spores 5 days after DMBQ pretreatment, blast lesion formation was inhibited compared with control leaves pretreated with distilled water. In addition, infection‐inhibiting activity against M. oryzae was significantly enhanced in rice leaf sheaths pretreated with 10 μg/ml DMBQ. H2O2 generation was observed in rice leaves pretreated with DMBQ, and PAL, POX, CHS and PR10a were significantly expressed in these leaves. These results suggested that DMBQ can protect rice from blast disease caused by M. oryzae. 相似文献

To identify larvicidal compounds from the ethanolic extracts of Curcuma longa root, the active compounds were isolated using activity‐guided fractionation with column chromatography and identified based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) data. The dipping method was used to determine the larvicidal activities of each compound against 4th‐instar larvae of Culex pipiens pallens. Two compounds were isolated and identified, ar‐turmerone and 8‐hydroxyl‐ar‐turmerone. The two compounds exhibited larvicidal activities against the 4th‐instar larvae of C. pipiens pallens after 24 hr of treatment with LC50 values of 138.86 and 257.68 ppm, respectively. The larvicidal activities of ar‐turmerone and 8‐hydroxyl‐ar‐turmerone against C. pipiens pallens are reported herein for the first time. The elucidation of the structure of these phytochemicals and their insecticidal activities are important for assessing the potential of this plant as a botanical insecticide. 相似文献

The study of chemical composition and biological activity of unexplored essential oils may open new perspectives on their potential use in facing major health concerns such as drug‐resistant infections. The present study investigates the chemical composition and antimicrobial effects of previously unstudied essential oils obtained from genus Eryngium: Eryngium glomeratum Lam . and Eryngium barrelieri Boiss . The chemical compositions of the essential oils from aerial parts and roots of both species were studied using GC and GC/MS analytical technics. The analysis led to the identification of 102 compounds totalizing 85 – 94% of all detected compounds. Essential oils were characterized by the predominance of oxygenated sesquiterpenes. The oils obtained from aerial parts were tested against 36 microbial strains by agar dilution method and showed minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in the range of 2 – 625 μg/ml. A strong antibacterial activity against multiresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa was observed especially from E. glomeratum essential oil with MIC value up to 2 μg/ml. These findings give significant information about the pharmacological activity of these essential oils, which suggest their potential use to develop new remedies, or as sources of active compounds. 相似文献
