Tuber Extract

The present study aimed to investigate the activity of Hydnophytum formicarum Jack (Ant Plant) tuber extract against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and the mode of action of the extract on bacterial responses. The antibacterial activity was determined using agar well diffusion method. Resazurin-based 96-well microdilution method was used to determine the Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) of the extract. Mode of action on bacterial death and response patterns to the extract were assessed by flow cytometry using membrane integrity and granularity profiles. The results, based on serial dilution and zones of inhibition against the bacteria, showed that 2,000 µg/well was potent against S. aureus (16.33±1.53 mm) and E. coli (14.33±0.58 mm). For S. aureus, the MIC concentration was 8,000 µg/mL, while 4,000 µg/mL concentration exhibited activity against E. coli. Flow cytometric profiles confirmed loss of intracellular components, followed by death, for both bacteria. Bacterial responses to the extract had consistent dose- and time-dependent behavior. This is the first mode of action study on bacterial responses to H. formicarum tuber extract. The results suggest that the extract of H. formicarum tuber could serve as a source of an initial active ingredient for developing effective medicines to battle infections caused by pathogens. HIGHLIGHTS Ant plant tuber extract had a strong antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli Intracellular component and bacterial membrane were the remarkable target for action of the extract Dose- and Time-response model for bacterial response to the extract was achieved using Flow cytometry

Helical Region

ABSTRACT Lactoferricin includes an 11-amino-acid amphipathic alpha-helical region which is exhibited on the outer surface of the amino-terminal lobe of lactoferrin. Synthetic peptides homologous to this region exhibited potent antibacterial activity against a selected range of both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. An analog synthesized with methionine substituted for proline at position 26, which is predicted to disrupt the helical region, abolished antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and considerably reduced antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and anAcinetobacter strain. The mode of action of human lactoferrin peptide (HLP) 2 against E. coli serotype O111 (NCTC 8007) was established by using flow cytometry, surface plasmon resonance, and transmission electron microscopy. Flow cytometry was used to monitor membrane potential, membrane integrity, and metabolic processes by using the fluorescent probes bis-1,3-(dibutylbarbituric acid)-trimethine oxonol, propidium iodide, and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, respectively. HLP 2 was found to act at the cell membrane, causing complete loss of membrane potential after 10 min and of membrane integrity within 30 min, with irreversible damage to the cell as shown by rapid loss of viability. The number of particles, measured by light scatter on the flow cytometer, dropped significantly, showing that bacterial lysis resulted. The peptide was shown to bind toE. coli O111 lipopolysaccharide by using surface plasmon resonance. Transmission electron microscopy revealed bacterial distortion, with the outer membrane becoming detached from the inner cytoplasmic membrane. We conclude that HLP 2 causes membrane disruption of the outer membrane, resulting in lysis, and that structural considerations are important for antibacterial activity.

Borassus flabellifer vinegar–graphene quantum dots (BFV-GQDs) were successfully synthesized using a pyrolysis method with Borassus flabellifer vinegar (BFV) as the precursor. All the samples were characterized using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The antibacterial activities of BFV-GQDs against strains of Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) were determined using the agar well diffusion method for preliminary screening, while minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined using the broth macro-dilution method. The zones of inhibition were compared with those of citric acid–graphene quantum dots (CA-GQDs). It was observed that the synthesized BFV-GQDs demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (82.3%) and good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (73.3%). The MIC of BFV-GQDs against E. coli was 6.25 mg/mL and S. aureus was 12.5 mg/mL, whereas the MBC of BFV-GQDs against E. coli was 12.5 mg/mL and S. aureus was 25.0 mg/mL.

Sponge organisms produce bioactive compounds that are toxic as a means of self-defense. The compound is known to have the potential as an antibacterial and anti-UV which can absorb sunlight with the potential to be used as a material for making sunscreen. The purpose of this study was to obtain antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and anti-UV activity from crude extracts and sponges fractions. The antibacterial test done by agar diffusion method (Kirby and Bauer diffusion disc) and the crude extract and the active fraction of antibacterial compounds were tested in a UV spectrophotometer to see its anti-UV activity. As a result, 4 species of sponges were extracted and partitioned into water fractions, methanol fractions, and n-hexane fractions. All samples were tested for antibacterial activity and the results showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus by Plakortis sp. in crude extract (9 mm) and water fraction (8.6 mm), Agelas sp. in crude extract (7 mm) and in E. coli bacteria shown by Plakortis sp. in crude extract (12.6 mm) and water fraction (9 mm), Liosina sp. in the water fraction (7.6 mm), Haliclona sp. in the water fraction (8 mm) and Agelassp. in crude extract (10.3 mm). Crude extracts and water fractions were tested using a UV spectrophotometer for anti-UV testing, the results showed that crude extract and all the water fractions of four species sponge could absorb UV-B (λ 290-320 nm) and UV-A (λ 320-400 nm).Keywords: sponges, antibacterial, partition, anti-UV

The study was conducted by testing the inhibition zone diameter with paper disc diffusion method. Variations in the concentration of the sample used were 10%; 15%; 20%; 25%; and 30% b/v. In this study, Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (sampel solvent) was used as a negative control and Chloramphenicol as a positive control. It was found that Resorsinarene-HDTMA-Br had higher antibacterial activity than the unmodified C-4-methoxyphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene (CMFKR) against the <em>S.</em><em> </em><em>aureus</em> bacteria. Both CMFKR and Resorcinarene-HDTMA-Br are not active against <em>E. coli</em>.</p>
