The food stuffs can be clasified as functional food since the foods can improve the human health. One of them are the food stuffs which have function as antioxidant and antibacterial. These activities were studied on crude polysaccharides from Auricularia auricula. The sample was subsequently isolated using hot water and 1 M NaOH to obtain water and alkali soluble of crude polysaccharides. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using β-caroten-linoleat assay. The results showed that the alkali soluble of crude polysaccharides had the highest antioxidant activity (85.82%) at 350 μg/ml. The water and alkali soluble of crude polysaccharides from A.auricula were evaluated for their antibacterial activity using disc diffusion method. The alkali soluble of crude polysaccharides was found to have the highest antibacterial activity at 100 mg/ml against Staphylococcus aureus InaCC B4 and Escherichia coli InaCC B5 with clear zone values of 3.18 mm and 5.10 mm, respectively. The findings indicated that the alkali soluble of crude polysaccharides from A. auricula could potentially be used in part of well-balanced diets and could be considered as a potential source of natural antioxidant and antibacterial products.

Fungal food spoilage plays a key role in the deterioration of food products, and finding a suitable natural preservative can solve this problem. Therefore, antifungal activity of green mandarin (Citrus reticulata) essential oil (GMEO) in the vapor phase against the growth of Penicillium (P.) expansum and P. chrysogenum inoculated on wheat bread (in situ experiment) was investigated in the current research. The volatile compounds of the GMEO were analyzed by a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC–MS), and its antioxidant activity was determined by testing free radical-scavenging capacity (DPPH assay). Moreover, the disc diffusion method was used to analyze the antifungal activity of GMEO in in vitro conditions. The results demonstrate that the Citrus reticulata EO consisted of α-limonene as the most abundant component (71.5%), followed by γ-terpinene (13.9%), and β-pinene (3.5%), and it displayed the weak antioxidant activity with the value of inhibition 5.6 ±0.7%, which corresponds to 103.0 ±6.4 µg TEAC.mL-1. The findings from the GMEO antifungal activity determination revealed that values for the inhibition zone with disc diffusion method ranged from 0.00 ±0.00 (no antifungal effectiveness) to 5.67 ±0.58 mm (moderate antifungal activity). Finally, exposure of Penicillium strains growing on bread to GMEO in vapor phase led to the finding that 250 μL.L-1 of GMEO exhibited the lowest value for mycelial growth inhibition (MGI) of P. expansum (-51.37 ±3.01%) whose negative value reflects even supportive effect of the EO on the microscopic fungus growth. On the other hand, GMEO at this concentration (250 μL.L-1) resulted in the strongest inhibitory action (MGI: 54.15 ±1.15%) against growth of P. chrysogenum. Based on the findings it can be concluded that GMEO in the vapor phase is not an effective antifungal agent against the growth of P. expansum inoculated on bread; however, its antifungal potential manifested against P. chrysogenum suggests GMEO to be an appropriate alternative to the use of chemical inhibitors for bread preservation.

This study was based on screening antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract ofBaeckea frutescensL. against MRSA clinical isolates, analyzes the potential antibacterial compound, and assesses the cytotoxicity effect of the extract in tissue culture. Leaves ofBaeckea frutescensL. were shade dried, powdered, and extracted using solvent ethanol. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the crude extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, phenols, and carbohydrates. The presence of these bioactive constituents is related to the antibacterial activity of the plant. Disc diffusion method revealed a high degree of activity against microorganisms. The results confirm thatBaeckea frutescensL. can be used as a source of drugs to fight infections caused by susceptible bacteria.

Scytonema schmidtii,a cyanobacterium was isolated from the collected soil samples from different locations of Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra state (India). Identification was carried out using morphological variation and taxonomical approaches according to Desikachary (1959) and Prescott (1962) .The axenic culture of Scytonema schmidtii was obtained by using the method recommended by Bolch and Blackburn (1996). The isolated Scytonema schmidtii was grown autotropically in BG-11 medium as described by Rippka et al.,(1979) and incubated at 30±2°c.After 25 days, biomass was harvested by filtration through double layered muslin cloth and dried using air blower. The biomass of this Scytonema schmidtii species was used for the assessment of antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Micrococcus flavus and Proteus mirabilis. The antibacterial activity was studied by disc diffusion method (Anonymous,1996).Methanol extract of Scytonema schmidtii showed the activity against all the tested bacterial strains.Maximum zone of inhibition (23±1.9 mm) was recorded with methanol extract of Scytonema schmidtii.

Ruta angustifolia was used in this study in order to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and antioxidant properties and its correlation with the polyphenolic content. Two Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778) and two Gram–negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Escherichia coli ATCC 8739) were used to determine the antibacterial activity. Aqueous maceration extract was used for antioxidant activities and methanolic maceration extract was used for antibacterial activity. The antioxidant properties and activities were evaluated by using total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), DPPH free radical scavenging activity and beta-carotene bleaching method. Whereas, the antibacterial activity was examined using disc diffusion method against selected microorganism at concentration 1.0 mg/disc. The results showed the phenolic content of R. angustifolia extract was 18.89 g GAE/100 g extract while the flavonoid content was 14.170 g QE/100 g extract. R. angustifolia exhibited good radical scavenging with IC50 value of 2.04 mg/ml. The result for disc diffusion method showed no inhibition zone against all the strains of bacteria at 1.0 mg/disc concentration of the extract. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the R. angustifolia aqueous extract has the antioxidant properties and there is correlation between polyphenolic content of the extract with its antioxidant activity. However, R. angustifolia methanolic extract did not show any antibacterial activity.

This quasi experimental study was designed to evaluate antibacterial activity of chemically synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from silver nitrate (AgNO3) solutions on gram negative bacteria like E.Coli using disc diffusion method. Different concentrations of AgNPs, AgNO3 and reference drug ciprofloxacin were used to find out the antibacterial activity which revealed that AgNPs possessed significant antibacterial effect compared to AgNO3 solutions but relatively less antibacterial effect than that of ciprofloxacin. So chemical synthesis guided AgNPs may have some antibacterial effects.TAJ 2016; 29(2): 37-41

Aims & Methods: The present study was undertaken to compare the antibacterial activity of a cephradine derivative with that of the parent antibiotic cephradine. Cephradine was converted to its benzoyl derivative by Schotten-Baumann method for the first time. Disc diffusion method was employed to find out the antibacterial activity against EPEC, ETEC, E. Agg, Salmonella typhi, Salmonella group B, Shigella boydii, Shigella dysenteriae 1, Shigella dysenteriae 2, Shigella flexinariae and Shigella sonnei. Melting point, TLC, HPLC, UV, FTIR and <sup>1</sup>H NMR studies were carried out to check the purity and confirm that the derivative was cephradine benzoate. Results: The benzoyl derivative showed promising activity against tested bacteria. The results obtained from the study demonstrate that the benzoyl derivative could be a potential antibacterial agent. Key words: Cephradine benzoate, antibacterial activity, disc diffusion method.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/ 10.3329/bjms.v10i3.8356 BJMS 2011; 10(3): 148-151
