Antibacterial Properties of Selected Lignicolous Mushrooms and Fungi from Northern Serbia

Evaluation of antibacterial activity of Australian basidiomycetous macrofungi using a high-throughput 96-well plate assay

“…Likewise, Gram−ve bacteria have been reported to be less sensitive to extracts from macrofungi (Yamac & Bilgili, 2006;Barros et al, 2007;Karaman et al, 2009). Similarly, in the present study, the extracts were generally less effective toward the Gram−ve bacteria (E. coli) as compared with Gram+ve bacteria (S. aureus).…”

Antibacterial Agents from Lignicolous Macrofungi

“…Unlike methanol, chloroform extracts did not show concentration dependence while the concept of a dose response phenomenon-hormesis (low dose stimulation and high dose inhibition) may be used for explanation of this phenomenon. The precise composition of examined extracts of fungi is unknown and can only be assumed that the effect of crude extracts, which are concentration dependent, is a consequence of complex interactions between cells and mixtures of compounds in the extracts (Karaman et al, 2009a).…”
