“…The methanol extract of A. aureum showed a bactericidal effect at a concentration of 25 mg/ml against Pseudomonas aeruginosa [31]. Several species of the genus Acacia have been reported to have antibacterial and antifungal activity, but A mangium does not exhibit significant activity against fungi [32]. The modification of leaf and flower extracts of C. gigantea (L.) into nanoparticle forms has enhanced the antimicrobial effectiveness against S. aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans [33].…”

The lower area of the Ie Seu-um manifestation, located in Ie Seu-um village, Aceh Besar District, harbors several medicinal plants that exhibit potential for the treatment of infectious diseases. This study aims to assess the secondary metabolite content and in vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans of medicinal plants inhabiting the geothermal region. Medicinal plants, namely Pluchea indica (L.) Less., Acrostichum aureum L., Acacia mangium L., and Calotropis gigantea (L.) Dryand., were collected within a range of 100-150 meters from the hot springs in the lower area. Methanol extracts of these medicinal plants underwent phytochemical screening and were tested for antimicrobial activity using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method at a concentration of 50%. The results of phytochemical screening demonstrated positive variations in alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, triterpenoids, and tannins for each medicinal plant. The antimicrobial activity of the methanol extracts noticeably inhibited the growth of S. aureus compared to E. coli and C. albicans. The largest inhibition zones were observed for the leaf part of A. mangium (12.70 ± 2.30 mm) against S. aureus, the aerial part of A. aureum (11.57 ± 2.01 mm) against E. coli, and the aerial part of P. indica (9.89 ± 1.11 mm) against C. albicans. Based on the research findings, medicinal plants originating from the lower area of the Ie Seu-um manifestation exhibit potential as antimicrobial agents, particularly against gram-positive bacteria.

“…The Acacia species have significant commercial value and have been used as traditional medicines since the beginning of human civilization [ 10 ]. Many previous research studies have indicated that the Acacia genus contains phytoconstituents with significant biological effects, including antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-atherosclerotic properties [ 11 , 12 ]. The inhibitory activities of leaf extracts from Acacia nilotica , A. seyal , A. aroma , A. albidia , A. mellifera, and A. tortilis against pathogenic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus , Listeria monocytogenes , Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp.…”

Background Acacia species are economically significant as medicinal plants that have been utilized since ancient times. Acacia modesta has been reported to possess potent antibacterial and antioxidant properties, but its growth rate is slow. In this study, we hypothesized that inducing callus in vitro from A. modesta could enhance the production of antibacterial and antioxidant secondary metabolites, thereby circumventing the issues of slow growth and excessive harvesting of the plant. Results The callus was induced from axillary buds on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L of 2,4-D and 1 mg/L of BAP. The secondary metabolites, volatile compounds, antibacterial activity, and antioxidant activity of the callus and parent plant leaf extracts were evaluated. The results revealed that the content of phenolics and flavonoids, the number of volatile compounds, and the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the callus extract were significantly enhanced (P ≤ 0.05) compared to the leaf extract. The antibacterial and antioxidant effects were strongly correlated with the total phenolic and flavonoid content in the extracts. Conclusions Our findings suggest that in vitro callus culture increases the production of phenolics, flavonoids, and volatile compounds. This subsequently enhances the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of A. modesta.
