Objective: The aim of this study was to purify and characterize bacteriocin from the soil isolate Bacillus subtilis GAS101, and to determine its antimicrobial as well as antibiofilm potential. The purified bacteriocin was further analyzed and evaluated for mammalian cell cytotoxicity and the possible mode of action. Material and Methods: Bacteriocin from B. subtilis GAS101 (an animal husbandry soil isolate) was partially purified and checked for antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The molecular weight of bacteriocin was determined using tricine SDS-PAGE gel. The stability of bacteriocin was investigated at various temperatures and pH levels, and its sensitivity towards 8 enzymes and 6 chemicals was determined. Cytotoxicity analysis was performed on a Vero cell line by a tetrazolium dye-based assay. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of bacteriocin-treated bacteria was carried out to determine the possible mode of action. Results: Bacteriocin from B. subtilis GAS101 was a potential inhibitor of both the indicator organisms (Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli), and had a molecular weight of approximately 6.5 kDa. An in situ gel assay showed a zone of inhibition corresponding to the estimated protein band size. Bacteriocin was stable and showed antibacterial activity in broad ranges of temperature (30–121°C) and pH (2–12). It was sensitive to 4 proteolytic enzymes, which indicated its proteinaceous nature. Bacteriocin showed > 70% cell viability on the mammalian Vero cell line. SEM depicted that the bacteriocin was able to disrupt the bacterial cell membrane as its probable mode of action. Conclusion: Thermostable and pH-tolerant bacteriocin from B. subtilis GAS101, of about 6.5 kDa, showed broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity.

Background: Selenium is an important trace mineral required by the animals. It is an integral part of antioxidant system, protecting the body against free radical injury. Nano particles attract a widespread attention due to its high bioavailability and efficacy. The current study was aimed to synthesize, characterize nano selenium and evaluate the cytotoxic effect of nano selenium and organic selenium (selenocysteine) under in vitro condition in vero cell line. Methods: Nano selenium was synthesized by wet chemical method by using sodium selenite, selenium powder, ascorbic acid and sodium hydroxide at laboratory level. In this study particle size, shape, zeta potential and selenium content were characterized by using Particle Size Analyser (PSA), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The toxicity was analysed by MTT assay against vero cell line. Result: The result revealed that selenium nano particles were spherical in shape, nano in size (less than 50 nm) and pure in nature. The nano selenium and organic selenium (selenocysteine) effectively inhibited the growth of vero cells in a dose dependent manner.

Introduction: The persistent increase of resistance to existing antimalarials underscores the needs for new drugs. Historically, most of the successful antimalarial are derived from plants. The leaves of the S. cymosum is one of the plant materials used by traditional healers in malaria-endemic areas in Bangladesh for treatment of malaria. Here, we investigated the crude extract and its fractions against chloroquine (CQ)-sensitive 3D7, CQ-resistant Dd2, and artemisinin (ART)-resistant IPC 4912 Mondulkiri strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Methodology: The antimalarial activities were tested using HRP II based in-vitro antimalarial drug sensitivity ELISA described by WWARN and half inhibitory concentrations (IC50) were calculated by non-linear regression analysis using GraphaPad Prism. The cytotoxicity of the crude methanolic extract was assessed using the MTT assay on Vero cell line. Results: The methanolic crude extract revealed promising activity against 3D7 (IC50 6.28 µg/mL), Dd2 (IC50 13.42 µg/mL), and moderate activity against IPC 4912 Mondulkiri (IC50 17.47 µg/mL). Among the fractionated portions, the chloroform fraction revealed highest activity against IPC 4912 Mondulkiri (IC50 1.65 µg/mL) followed by Dd2 (1.73 µg/mL) and 3D7 (2.39 µg/mL). The crude methanolic extract also demonstrated good selectivity with the selectivity indices of > 15.92, > 7.45, and > 6.91 against 3D7, Dd2, and IPC 4912, respectively when tested against Vero cell line. Conclusions: This is the first report on S. cymosum for its putative antimalarial activity, and is imperative to go for further phytochemical analyses in order to investigate possible novel antimalarial drug compound(s).
