In order to improve the antibacterial performance of natural palygorskite, spindle-like ZnO/palygorskite (ZnO/PAL) nanocomposites with controllable growth of ZnO on the surface of PAL were prepared in the presence of non-ionic surfactants using an easy-to-operate hydrothermal method. The obtained ZnO/PAL nanocomposites have a novel and special spindle-shaped structure and good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and are also low cost. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of ZnO/PAL nanocomposites toward E. coli and S. aureus reached 1.5 and 5 mg/mL, respectively.

Background: [1, 3, 4]oxadiazolenone core containing chalcones and nucleosides were synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of a variety of benzaldehyde derivatives, obtained from oxidation of substituted 5-(3/6 substituted-4-Methylphenyl)-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one and various substituted acetophenone. The resultant chalcones were coupled with penta-O-acetylglucopyranose followed by deacetylation to get [1, 3, 4] oxadiazolenone core containing chalcones and nucleosides. Various analytical techniques viz IR, NMR, LC-MS and elemental analysis were used to confirm the structure of the synthesised compounds.The compounds were targeted against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli for antibacterial activity and Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum for antifungal activity. Methods: A mixture of Acid hydrazides (3.0 mmol) and N, Nʹ- carbonyl diimidazole (3.3 mmol) in 15 mL of dioxane was refluxed to afford substituted [1, 3, 4]-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one. The resulted [1, 3, 4]- oxadiazole-2(3H)-one (1.42 mmol) was oxidized with Chromyl chloride (1.5 mL) in 20 mL of carbon tetra chloride and condensed with acetophenones (1.42 mmol) to get chalcones 4. The equimolar ratio of obtained chalcones 4 and β -D-1,2,3,4,6- penta-O-acetylglucopyranose in presence of iodine was refluxed to get nucleosides 5. The [1, 3, 4] oxadiazolenone core containing chalcones 4 and nucleosides 5 were tested to determined minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value with the experimental procedure of Benson using disc-diffusion method. All compounds were tested at concentration of 5 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL, 1.25 mg/mL, 0.62 mg/mL, 0.31 mg/mL and 0.15 mg/mL for antifungal activity against three strains of pathogenic fungi Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus), Aspergillus niger (A. niger) and Fusarium oxysporum (F. oxysporum) and for antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacterium: Escherichia coli (E. coli), and two Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Bacillus subtilis(B. subtilis). Result: The chalcones 4 and nucleosides 5 were screened for antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus and B. subtilis whereas antifungal activity against A. flavus, A. niger and F. oxysporum. Compounds 4a-t showed good antibacterial activity whereas compounds 5a-t containing glucose moiety showed better activity against fungi. The glucose moiety of compounds 5 helps to enter into the cell wall of fungi and control the cell growth. Conclusion: Chalcones 4 and nucleosides 5 incorporating [1, 3, 4] oxadiazolenone core were synthesized and characterized by various spectral techniques and elemental analysis. These compounds were evaluated for their antifungal activity against three fungi; viz. A. flavus, A. niger and F. oxysporum. In addition to this, synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against gram negative bacteria E. Coli and gram positive bacteria S. aureus, B. subtilis. Compounds 4a-t showed good antibacterial activity whereas 5a-t showed better activity against fungi.

Binuclear rhodium(II) complexes [Rh2Cl2(μ-OOCR)2(N-N)2] {R = H, Me; N-N = 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen)} and [Rh2(μ-OOCR)2(N-N)2(H2O)2](RCOO)2 (R = Me, Et;) have been synthesized and their structure and properties have been studied by electronic, IR and H1 NMR spectroscopy. Antibacterial activity of these complexes against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus has been investigated. The most active antibacterial agents against E. coli were [Rh2Cl2(μ-OOCR)2(N-N)2] and [Rh2(μ-OOCR)2(N-N)2(H2O)2](RCOO)2 {R = H and Me} which were considerably more active than the appropriate nitrogen ligands. The complexes show low activity against S. aureus. The activity of the complexes [Rh2(OOCR)2(N-N)2(H2O)2](OOCR)2 against E. coli decreases in the series: R=H≅CH3>C2H5>C3H7≅C4H9. The reverse order was found in the case of S. aureus.

Infectious diseases are a disease caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. One way to overcome the disease by using antibiotics. However, wise use can lead to antibiotic resistance, so many bacteria are resistant to antibiotics. Therefore it is necessary to search the natural compounds as antibacterials, one of them by using lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus). This study aims to determine the effectiveness of leaf extracts, stems, and roots lemongrass as antibacterial. The method used in this research is the disc method. Bacteria used are E. coli and S. aureus. The results show extracts of roots, stems, and leaf has activity against S. aureus, while  E. coli shows no activity as antibacterial, it can be possible because of the different properties of the bacteria.   Keywords: anti-bacteria, lemongrass, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus

Etlingera elatior is a medicinal plant that has been used by people in Indonesia, especially Acehnese people. Based on its secondary metabolites, E. elatior can be used as antibacterial agents against Gram-positive and Gram-negative. However, to determine the antibacterial activity of E. elatior, the parts of E. elatior that have been used are leaves, flowers, and fruits. This study was aimed to determine the best concentration of ethanol extract of leaves, flowers, and fruits of E. elatior as an inhibitor against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The extract was made by the maceration method with 70% ethanol as a solvent. Antibacterial activity test was carried out by the diffusion agar method using concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%. The results showed that the fruit extract of E. elatior has antibacterial activity with an effective inhibitory zone at a concentration of 2% is 8.4 mm (E. coli) and 2.4 mm (S. aureus). Meanwhile, antibacterial activity the extract of leaves and flowers against E. elatior cannot determine yet. Identification of leaves, flowers and fruits extract of E. elatior using GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy) showed 56 compounds were detected.

ABSTRACTEndophytic fungi are fungi that live in plant tissues and do not harm the plants. Endophytic fungi can produce compounds that have the potential to be antibacterial. This study aims to examine the antibacterial activity of endophytic fungi isolated from the leaves and stems of the cat's whiskers plant (Orthosiphon aristatus) against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Cat's whiskers contain essential oils which are used as antibacterial against some pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The method used is experimentally in the laboratory to test the antibacterial activity of endophytic fungi isolates derived from cat's whiskers (Orthosiphon aristatus) on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria using the hole / well method. In the research results obtained four samples of endophytic fungi extract isolated from the leaves and stems of the cat's whiskers plant (Orthosiphon aristatus) . The results of antibacterial research showed that endophytic mushroom extract isolated from cat's whiskers were more effective in inhibiting Escherichia coli bacteria compared to Staphylococcus aureus. In Escherichia coli bacteria the average value of inhibition is 5 mm whereas in Staphylococcus aureus bacteria the average value of inhibition is only 2 mm. So it can be seen that the endophytic fungus from the leaves of cat's whiskers has a better antibacterial effect than the endophytic fungus from the stems of the cat's whiskets. Conclusion, etidophytic fungi isolated from leaves and stems of cat's whiskers (Orthosiphon aristatus) have an antibacterial effect on the growth of E. coli bacteria and are not effective against S. aureus bacteria.Keywords: Cat's whiskers (Orthasiphan aristatus), antibacterial activity, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. ABSTRAKJamur endofit ialah jamur yang hidup di dalam jaringan tumbuhan dan tidak membahayakan tumbuhan tersebut.
