Chemical composition, cytotoxicity effect and antimicrobial activity of Ceratonia siliqua essential oil with preservative effects against Listeria inoculated in minced beef meat

In vitro activity, extraction, separation and structure elucidation of antibiotic produced by Streptomyces anulatus NEAE-94 active against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

“…and Enterobacter sp. and is responsible for its high antibiofilm activity [41]: it has cytotoxic and antimicrobial effect [42]. Selvin et al [43] detected hexadecanoic acid and hexadecanoic acid methyl ester from Nocardiopsis dassonvillei MAD08 by GC-MS analysis.…”

“…Fatty acids are known to act as anionic surfactants and to show antibacterial and antifungal activity at low pH. [50] Octadecanoic acid, which has antifungal, antitumour and antibacterial activity [42,50], has been identified to be produced by a novel Streptomyces isolate Chy 2-3 from Chyulu National Park [40].…”

“…There are few reports on the activity of octacosene and tetradecanoic acid tetradecyl ester, although tetradecanoic acid is known to have potential antibacterial and antifungal activity [58,59]. Triacontane has cytotoxic and antimicrobial effect [42].…”

Chemical Composition, Free Radical Scavenging and Antimicrobial Activities of Essential Oil of Vahl

“…2-Decanone, one of the constituents of the study plant has been shown to possess antifungal activities [27] while hexadecane, a derivative of the constituent 2-methyl-1-hexadecanol has been reported to be responsible for the anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties of the essential oil of Cestrum noctrunum [28] and Monochaetia kansensis [29]. Eicosane, a derivative of the constituent 1-Eicosene is reported to be one of the main constituents in the Aloe vera extract responsible for high antimicrobial activity against clinical pathogens [30] while 9-Eicosene has been shown to have potent antimicrobial property [31]. The presence of these constituents in the essential oil justifies the ethno medicinal uses of the plant.…”

Antibacterial and antifungal screening of four medicinal plants

“…The plants Salvadora persica (S. persica) and Anastatica hierochuntica (A. hierochuntica) showed good activities against A. baumanii and P. aeruginosa. The diameters of the inhibition zones were between 13 and 25 mm. Finally, the A. vera showed no interesting activity against all Gram-negative bacteria.…”
