The success of culture initiation depends on explant surface sterilization techniques. Suitable concentration, combinations, and duration of exposure of sterilizing agents are important to raise in vitro culture successfully. The aim of this work is to obtain the suitable sterilization method for explant buds of red ginger rhizome to get the axenic culture. Four sterilizing agents, fungicide, bactericide, Cefotaxime antibiotic, and NaOCl were tested for sterilization by various concentration and duration of exposure. The results showed that sterilizing agents 200 mg/L Cefotaxime and 100 mg/L Benomyl combined with NaOCl decreased the contamination of explants, and achieved 20% axenic culture.

The main aim of present study was to overcome the problems associated with the in vitro culture initiation in Terminalia arjuna. The micropropagation of tree species is not easy as shrubs and herbs. Many problems encountered from explant collection to in vitro culture establishment. The problems that have been occurred during T. arjuna micropropagation were culture contamination, phenolic exudation, bud growth inhibition, shoots yellowing and leaf fall. All these problems have been solved by applying certain treatments prior to explant collection and inoculation. The mother tree was lopped in November months (six months prior to explant collection) to remove any inhibitory substance and release bud growth. Different sterilizing agents were used to minimize the bacterial and fungal contamination. Some modification in culture media (use of different concentration of NH4NO3 and KNO3 salts and adenine sulphate) was done. Surface sterilization of nodal explants collected from lopped branches with 0.1% HgCl2 for 8 min., treatment with chilled antioxidant solution (Ascorbic acid, Citric acid and PVP) and half strength of NH4NO3 and KNO3 salts of MS medium supported 100% bud break response with proliferation of green and healthy in vitro shoots. Removing these hurdles already in the initial stage of micropropagation is very important and maximize mass in vitro propagation of this medicinally important Arjun tree.

Background: This study investigated the antibacterial effect of ginger (Zingiber officinale) oil against a common resistant root canal pathogen known as Enterococcus faecalis. The aim of the study was to determine the inhibition of E. faecalis growth in culture suspension and ability to inhibit growth of bacteria through disruption of pre-formed monospecies biofilm. Methods: Ginger rhizome oil was prepared in two-fold concentration series from 0.04 to 5.00 mg/mL and mixed with brain heart infusion broth inoculated with E. faecalis in anaerobic condition. Among the antibacterial tests performed were the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentrations using microdilution assays, and anti-biofilm assay on 3-day old pre-form monospecies biofilm on a 94 well-plate. Ampicillin was used as a positive control. Results: The result showed an in vitro dose-dependent bacteriostatic activity towards E. faecalis in suspension broth (MIC 0.04mg/mL) but no bactericidal activity within the tested concentration range. It was also found that the ginger oil inhibitory activity against E. faecalis was comparably less in anti-biofilm activity than against bacteria cultured in suspension solution. Conclusion: The study suggests that at determined concentrations, ginger oil has the potential to be used as an antibacterial agent in the management of root canal infections particularly where newly formed E. faecalis is involved.

Endophytic fungi isolated from red ginger (Zingiber officinale) can inhibit growth of Fusarium oxysporum, but the ability of the fungi to control Candida albicans  as human pathogen has not been reported. The aims of this research were to study the mechanism of ten endophytic fungi isolates derived from red ginger to control C. albicans in vitro using dual culture methode and fungal extract, and to determine fungal bioactive chemical groups produced by the fungi. Three out of ten isolates tested, Talaromyces assiutensis JMa 7, T. assiutensis JMbt 3, and Curvularia affinis JMbt 9 inhibited growth of C. albicans with inhibition zones were 4.0 mm, 4.9 mm, and 11.3 mm, respectively. The cultures of the three potential endophytic fungi were extracted by maceration method using 3 solvents i.e ethyl acetate, n-hexane and ethanol. The three isolates were grown in PDB separately for 21 days incubation. At harvest, the culture filtrate was extracted by ethyl acetate and n-hexane, while fungal mycelia were extracted by all the three solvents. Ethyl acetate extracts obtained from culture filtrate of all the three fungal isolates consistently inhibited C. albicans with inhibition zones were 2.0-3.8 mm. For n-hexane extract, however, only Talaromyces assiutensis JMbt 3 that had positive effect with inhibition zone was 2.0 mm. All extracts from mycelia did not have any effects on C. albicans. The ethyl acetate extract of T. assiutensis JMbt 3 was analysed to determine its chemical groups using visible color on thin layer chromatography (TLC). The results showed that the bioactive compounds was terpenoids, and antioxidant.

The stage of introducing explants into a sterile culture is difficult in the technology of clonal micropropagation of plants. The article shows the possible ways of sterilization and the introduction terms of explants of the clonal apple stocks 54-118 into in vitro culture in order to reduce planting infection and increase the yield of sterile viable explants. The best time for introducing clonal apple stocks 54-118 into sterile in vitro culture is the period of active shoot growth. Sterilization of explants with ethyl alcohol (70,0 %, 1 min) in combination with hydrogen peroxide (33,0 %) for 7 minutes and ethyl alcohol (70,0 %, 1 min) in combination with diacide (0,1 %) within 6 minutes contributed to the production of 63,0 % and 60,0 % of viable sterile explants.

Abstract. Phytobiotic properties of garlic (Allium sativum), turmeric (Curcuma domestica), red ginger (Zingiber officinale) and kencur (Kaempferia galangal) were studied using standard in vitro antibacterial test and in vivo feeding trial with ducklings. In the in vitro experiment, potency of aqueous extract of these phytobiotic agents were tested against Salmonella pullorum and Escherichia coli. Feeding trial was carried out for 6 week starting at day 28 using ducklings fed diets supplemented with 1% of each of four phytobiotic agents. The highest antibacterial activity against S. pullorum and E. coli was observed with garlic and no additive effect when mixture of phytobiotics was used. Weight gain, fed intake and feed conversion ratio of ducklings were not affected by inclusion of garlic, red ginger and kencur. However, 1% turmeric supplementation significantly reduced growth performance to ducklings. Key words: phytobiotic, antibiotic, duck, medicinal plants Abstrak.  Penelitian karakteristik fitobiotik dari bawang putih (Allium sativum), kunyit (Curcuma domestica), jahe merah (Zingiber officinale) dan kencur (Kaempferia galangal) telah dilakukan secara in vitro melalui uji aktivitas antibakteri dan secara in vivo dengan perlakuan suplemetasi fitobiotik didalam pakan anak itik. Pada percobaan  in vitro, potensi  aktivitas antibakteri dari ektrak  fitobiotik diuji menggunakan Salmonella pullorum and Escherichia coli.  Percobaan suplementasi fitobiotik diberikan masing-masing sebesar 1% didalam pakan anak itik.  Pemberian pakan perlakuan dilakukan selama 6 minggu,  dimulai pada saat anak itik berumur 28 hari.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan aktivitas antibakteri terhadap S. pullorum dan E. coli paling tinggi adalah ektrak bawang putih dan tidak ada pengaruh yang lebih baik apabila dicampur dengan ektrak fitobiotik lainnya.  Pertambahan bobot badan, konsumsi pakan dan konversi pakan anak itik tidak dipengaruhi oleh penambahan bawang putih, kunyit, jahe merah dan kencur.  Akan tetapi, suplementasi kunyit nyata menurunkan performan pertumbuhan anak itik. Kata kunci: fitobiotik, antibiotik, itik, tanaman obat-obatan.
