The objective this stud was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of essential oils (organic vs. conventional) of Origanum vulgare L. in the action against Candida albicans, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The inoculation of rhizobacteria (environmental (ME) and Bacillus subtilis) potentiated the antimicrobial action.  The essential oils of Traditional (organic) cultivation presented antibacterial action and antifungal, while the essential oil of conventional cultivation (NPK) showed no any antibacterial or antifungal activity. It was concluded that the formulation of vermicomposting and the use of rhizobacteria are potential technologies and tools for family farmers and traditional community in the cultivation of orégano.

Preliminary research has been conducted on the antimicrobial activity of n-Butanol extract of forest honey (Apis nigrocincta). This study aims to determine the antimicrobial activity of forest honey from Selayar Regency on the growth of test microbes, using the method of solid dilution with the test microbial Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Vibrio sp, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Candida albicans against n-butanol extract from forest honey (Apis nigrocincta) at 1 mg/ml. The results obtained showed that n-butanol extract inhibited the growth of bacteria Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus aureus. To estimate the compounds that provide antimicrobial activity, the TLC-Bioautography test is performed. Obtained the best results from the separation of compounds by TLC using Chlorophorom eluate: Acetone (3: 1). The TLC-Bioautographic test results showed that the spots with an Rf value of 0.29 gave activity to Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus epidermidis, and gave positive results on the appearance of flavonoid compounds.

Three bis-acetylferrocene schiff bases have been synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, and elemental analysis, the results conformed well with expected structures. The synthesized compounds were screened in vitro for their antimicrobial activity against three Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella typhi) and two Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) bacterial strains. The results showed that these compounds are show excellent antimicrobia activities against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi ,Bacillus subtilis,Staphylococcus aureus.

The antimicrobial potential of two endophytic fungi isolated from Alyxia reinwardtii BL, towards selected bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Bacillus subtilis FNCC 0059, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Salmonella typhi) and fungi (Candida albicans) was tested using ethyl acetate, n-hexane and n-buthanol extracts of fungi cultivated under malt extract liquid fermentation. The extracts were evaluated for its antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion method followed its MIC by agar dilution. Bioautography assay for activity-directed fractionation were also conducted against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. Streptomycin sulphate and myconazole used as reference standards. Lecythophora sp. strain 30.1 and 30.5 have broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and a potential source of new classes of antibiotics that could be useful for medicines and biological control agents.

A series of nitrochalcones (compounds 1-10) were synthesized by reacting appropriate nitroacetophenones and suitable benzaldehydes. The synthesized products were evaluated for their cytotoxic, antibacterial (Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescence and Staphylococcus aureus) and antifungal (Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Trichophyton rubrum) activities in vitro. Among the compounds tested, (E)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(3-nitrophenyl)- prop-2-en-1-one (10) showed the favorable in vitro cytotoxic activity against human nasopharyngeal epidermoid tumor cell line KB, and (E)-3-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (8) showed the strongest antimicrobial activity with MIC of 20 μg/mL against P. fluorescence.

Combination effects between Cymbopogon flexuosus and Cymbopogon nardus essential oils were studied to determine whether the combination could emerge as better and more powerful antimicrobial agents against six selected bacteria includes Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. This combination study exhibited 40.67% additive, 28.67% antagonistic, 16.00% indifferent and 14.66% synergistic effects. C. flexuosus and C. nardus essential oils in combination showed a high inhibitory activity against S. aureus with 16% synergistic, 64% additive and 20% indifferent effects.
