“…Some studies demonstrated that components of the bacterial cell wall, such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS), peptidoglycans and teichuronic and teichoic acids, are responsible for the antibacterial effects of lectin (Klafke et al, 2013). In the other hand, A. jiringa seed lectin presented higher levels of antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria than against gram-negative bacteria (Charungchitrak et al, 2010), demonstrating that lectin acts against all bacteria groups. These abilities are important tools for biotechnology.…”

A novel lectin was isolated from the seeds of Chenopodium quinoa. To achieve this end, the crude extract from the quinoa was submitted to two purification steps, Sephadex G50 and Mono Q. The hemagglutinating activity showed that this lectin agglutinates human erythrocytes. Its activity is inhibited by glucose and mannose, and remained stable under a wide range of pH levels and temperatures. The quinoa lectin was found to be a heterodimeric lectin of approximately 60 kDa, consisting of two subunits of approximately 25 kDa and 35 kDa. This lectin had its antimicrobial activity tested against several bacteria strains and effectively inhibited three strains. These strains were all Gram-negative, making this lectin a promising antimicrobial tool.Keywords: antimicrobial; Chenopodium quinoa; glucose/mannose-specific; lectin; seeds. Practical Application:The purification and characterization of this novel lectin allow its study for a diversity of applications such as antibacterial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and biotechnology and its further use as drugs for human diseases.

“…Archidendron jiringa seed lectin was selected to test for antimicrobial activity with Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas auroginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aurous, and Candida albican (Charungchitrak et al, 2011). The MIC of Archidendron jiringa seed lectin with Candida albican equal in S. aurous to be 0.0567 mg /ml and in Bacillus subtilis to be 0.2266 mg/ ml.…”

“…Different proteins with antibacterial and/or antifungal activity have been isolated from seeds, tubers, and rhizomes, where they accumulate to high levels and may also function as storage proteins. Homologous of the seed proteins have also been identified at very low concentrations in floral and vegetative tissues (Terras et al, 1995;Kheeree et al, 2010;and Charungchitrak et al, 2011). There are several classes of proteins having antimicrobial properties which include thionins, lipid transfer proteins, plant defensins, chitinases, glucanases, 2S albumins, ribosome inactivating proteins and lectin (Ye et al, 2002;and Zhang and Halaweish, 2003).…”

“…Lectins seem to play an important role in defense mechanisms of plants against the attack of microorganisms, pests and insects. Fungal infection or wounding of the plant seems to increase lectin concentrations (Guan et al, 2008;Charungchitrak et al, 2011). In legumes, the role of lectins in the recognition of nitrogen-fixing bacteria Rhizobium genus, which have sugar-containing substances, has received a special attention (Antonyuk and Evseeva, 2006).…”

“…Previous studies have also reported the isolation and characterization of lectins from B. purpurea and B. monandra, seeds and roots (Souza et al, 2011). Although the interaction between lectins and phytopathogen microorganisms have been studied deeply (Gaidamashvili and Van Staden, 2002;Charungchitrak et al, 2011), there is still scarce literature concerning their interaction with plant endophytics. The present study reports the isolation and evaluation of antimicrobial activity of endophytic microorganisms obtained from B. monandra leaves, and the ability of BmoLL to agglutinate them.…”

Bauhinia monandra leaves are well known hypoglycemic agent in Brazilian popular medicine from which a galactose specific lectin (BmoLL) has been purified in milligram quantities. In this work, the antimicrobial activity of endophytes isolated from B. monandra leaves and the ability of BmoLL to agglutinate the microorganisms were evaluated. After disinfection, leaves of B. monandra were fragmented and distributed in Petri plates leading to isolation of fungi (37 strains) and both Grampositive (26 strains) and negative bacteria (6 strains). A preliminary antimicrobial assay revealed that 62% of bacterial strains were active, while no antagonist action was detected with fungi. However, only 2 strains were able to excrete the antimicrobial compounds: Pseudomonas aeruginosa UFPEDA598 inhibited Aspergillus niger, Fusarium moniliform, Fusarium oxysporum, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and PE(24)C1 inhibited Candida sp. strains, M. luteus and S. aureus. On the other hand, BmoLL did not show any antimicrobial action, but it was able to agglutinate the active strain P. aeruginosa UFPEDA598. The BmoLL-Pseudomonas interaction could promote a defense against the attack of phytopathogenic microorganisms in plants through a P. aeruginosa metabolic production mechanism. The lectins/endophytes interaction could be a new line to unravel defense mechanisms against phytopathogenic organisms.
