Background: Quorum-sensing is communication between bacterial involved in virulence. Bacterial virulence can be inhibited by quorum-quenching mechanism. Endophytic bacteria of pegagan leaf may produce secondary metabolit similar to bioactive compounds in the leaf wich can act in quorum-quenching; Aims: The study aimed to determine quorum-quenching ability in gram-negative bacteria from pegagan leaf; Methods: Gram-negative endophytic bacteria from pegagan were isolated, purified and subcultured by streak plate method on Nutrient Agar. Quorum-quenching activity was evaluated  by measuring the purple color inhibition zone of C. violaceum. Five Bacteria with the largest inhibition zones were characterized based on the characteristics of colony morphology, cell morphology and biochemical activities; Results: A total of 15 pure isolates of Gram-negative endophytic bacteria were obtained from 46 pure isolates of endophytic bacteria from Centella asiatica leaves. All isolates of Gram-negative endophytic bacteria showed quorum-quenching activity with inhibitory zones ranged from 9.0 to 13.0 mm. Five isolates that showed the largest quorum-quenching activity were included in genus Flavimonas, Flavobacterium and Acinetobacter; Conclusions: Gram-negative endophytic bacteria from pegagan leaf (Centella asiatica) potential to have quorum-quenching activity against Chromobacterium violaceum.

Quercetin (3,3′,4′,5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) is one of the dietary flavonoids, distributed in medicinal plants, vegetables, and fruits. Quercetin has the ability to bind with several metal ions to increase its biological activities. In the last two decades, quercetin has attracted considerable attention due to the biological and pharmaceutical activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer. In the present study, quercetin and ethanolamine were used for the synthesis Schiff base complex, which was characterized by IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The Schiff base has been employed as a ligand for the synthesis of novel nanoscale Cu (II) complex. The product was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, FESEM, and XRD. Significantly, the product showed remarkable catalytic activity towards the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols. The antibacterial activity of the final product was assessed against Staphylococcus aureus (Gram‐positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram‐negative) bacteria using an inhibition zone test. The synthesized nanoscale Cu (II) complex exhibited a strong antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

In this study Gloeocapsa punctata was isolated, purified and identified from the object of the home garden in Zayouna. BG-11 culture media was used for their cultivation in suitable laboratory conditions 25c°, 200µE/m2/sec for 16:8 hrs. Light: dark. Each culture was harvested at the end of exponential phase. Organic solvents used for extraction was Chloroform: methanol at 2:1 to extract, study aims to test the effectiveness of extracted interacellular (biomass) and overseas cellular Extracellular filtrate cellular and used solvent organic (Chlorferom: Methanol 95%) and by 1:2 and test their effectiveness against 10 strains of bacteria which: Bacillus subtilis , Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidiss, Enterococcus faecium, Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Klebsiella pneumoniae, Shigella flexeneri and Serratia sp. Agar diffusion method was used. Results showed that the extracellular products which extracted was best than intercellular product.The gram positive bacteria studied revealed higher susceptibility to attack by the intracellular and extracellular extracts comparing with the gram negative bacteria. The extracellular extraction revealed higher antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidiss the of inhibition zone was 28 mm. But the intercellular extract revealed higher antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecium and the average inhibition zone was 22 mm. However, results showed that gram negative bacteria extracellular products extract has the antagonistic activity against Klebsilla pneumonia with 25 mm inhibition zone. Also been detected on some fatty acids produced by the algae G. punctata which Palmitic, Stearic, Arachidic, Linoleic and Linolenic. The highest rate is fatty acid Linoleic 57% of the extract intercellular while the rate of 30% of the acid fatty Arachidic to intercellular abroad.

The antimicrobial activity about water extract of Acacia etbaica was examined by using agar well diffusion methods against five gram-positive and negative bacteria[Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC653-8), Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC2453, Bacillus cereus (ATCC6633), Escherichia coli MTCC739, and one local isolate (Staphylococcus epidermides)] in addition to Candida albicans (ATCC2019). this results designated that the water extract of Acacia etbaica possess antimicrobial efficacy against all tested microorganisms either (gram-positive and negative bacteria) or fungi (Candida albicans).Whereas the gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus, S. epidermides and B. cereus) with inhibition zones (21, 19.5 and 16.5) respectively was more sensitive than gram-negative bacteria (P. aeruginosa and E. coli) and C. albicans with inhibition zones 16 and 14.5 respectively. The antimicrobial effect was directly proportional with concentration of water extract where the highest inhibition zone at higher concentration 30% equal 21mm against S.aureus and the lower inhibition zone at lower concentration 5% equal 10mm against C. albicans...

Escherichia coli is a microscopic gram-negative bacteria that in the human digestive system and is one of the causes oof diarrheal disease. Treatment of dearrheal diseases usually uses chemical drugs. Chemical drugs are believed to have excessiive side effects. This can be replaced with a drug that has a low side effect in the from of traditional medicine. One plant that can be used as a medicine for diarrhea is rukam (Flacourtia rukam). Rukam (Flacourtia rukam) is a plant that has properties as an antibacterial drug. The compounds contained in rukam (Flacourtia rukam) include flavanoids, saponins, tannins, and alkaloids. The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial strength of the extract of rukam (Flacourtia rukam) leaf starch againt the Escherichia coli  inhibition zone. The results obtained  that rukam (Flacourtia rukam) has a different inhibitory zone, from various concentrations of 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%. Concentration with the highest inhibition zone is a concentration of 10%.

The antibacterial sensitivity of some single, double and triple chain aroylhydrazine against gram positive and gram negative bacteria were performed by disc diffusion method. Most of the compounds showed appreciable antibacterial activity against different gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The single chain hydrazines are more active then double chain and triple chain hydrazine. Among the single chain aroylhydrazines studied only 4-n-hexyloxy benzoyl hydrazine is the most active. The significant activity of 4-n-hexyloxybenzoyl hydrazine and heptyloxybenzoyl hydrazine against gram positive and gram negative bacteria may be (formation of inhibition zone 8 to 22 mm with most of the test bacteria) due to their liophilicity of the bacterial cell membrane. Anti-microbial activity decreases as the number of carbon of single chain hydrazine increases (C6 > C7 > C8 > C9 > C10 single chain hydrazine). Double chain hydrazines (3, 5 or 3, 4) are more active than triple chain hydrazines (3, 5 > 3, 4 > 3, 4, 5 hydrazine). The antibacterial activities of hydrazines are being decreased as their increasing number of side chain.Keyword: Antibacterial sensitivity; Aroyl hydrazine.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/ijns.v1i1.8610 International Journal of Natural Sciences (2011), 1(1):17-21
