The phytochemical analysis of Gossypium hirsutum was carried out using standardized methods for the evaluation of active compounds and provided opportunities for use in the preparation of new drugs. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and non-Bacillus thuringiensis (non-Bt) cotton species are picked for the current study and during this, different solvents such as acetone, ethanol, methanol, pet-ether, chloroform, water used for phytochemical and antimicrobial screening from cotton leaves and seeds in the year 2013. The phytochemical analysis found the presence and absence of flavonoids, phenols, glycosides, saponins, amino acids and tannins, alkaloids, anthraquinones, steroids, terpenoids, sugars respectively. The investigation on the antibacterial efficacy against pathogenic strains of bacteria has been conducted and the highest inhibitory effect is present in leaf chloroform extract of non-Bt cotton against Pseudomonas fluorescens, whereas leaf methanol extract of Bt cotton was found to be most potent against Escherichia coli. Ethyl acetate and chloroform extracts have been effective against the remaining bacterial strains. Water extracts have a great inhibiting effect on all fungal pathogens tested. Results suggest that some samples may contain various pharmacologically active compounds with moderate antimicrobial properties.

Mycobacterium ulcerans disease has been a serious threat for people living in rural remote areas. Due to poverty or availability of traditional medicine these populations rely on herbal remedies. Currently, data on the anti-Mycobacterium ulcerans activity of plants, so far considered community-based knowledge, have been scientifically confirmed, concomitantly with some medicinal plants used to treat infectious diseases in general. Products derived from plants usually responsible for the biological properties may potentially control Mycobacterium ulcerans disease; numerous studies have aimed to describe the chemical composition of these plant antimicrobials. Thus, the present work provides the first compilation of medicinal plants that demonstrated inhibitory potential on Mycobacterium ulcerans. This work shows that the natural products represent potential alternatives to standard therapies for use as curative medicine for Mycobacterium ulcerans disease.

Abandonment of planting of Gossypium barbadense has endangered its existence. The objective was to determine the characteristicof the maintenance of Gossypium barbadense in the Central-West Region of Brazil, with the aim to foster the conservation of the species. Expeditions were conducted in 2014-2015 in Southeast Goiás, where cotton collection has not been reported before. Data from previous collections in Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul and Distrito Federal available in Albrana database were considered this study. In the Central-West Region of Brazil, 466 accesses of G. barbadense were recorded, found most frequently in backyards (91.4%), but also spontaneous plants (7.5%), farm boundary (0.8%) and commercial farming (0.2%) have also been found. The main use indicated by VDU was as medicinal plant (0.66), therefore this is the main reason for in situ preservation. However, this cultural habit has been abandoned, causing uncertainty about the continuity of preservation. There was presence of lint almost only in seeds of plants of the variety brasiliense. The most common fiber color was white, not cream color, suggesting that plants are derived from commercial cultivars used in the past. Hence, until 2015, the conservation relies on single plants almost exclusively in backyards for medicinal use, and there are no crops of this type of cotton for commercial purpose. The exploitation of the possible use both of the fiber as a medicinal plant would foster ex situ and in situ preservation of this important genetic resource.
