In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity Screening of Xylaria Hypoxylon

Abstract

Background: Fungi have a potential of using both as nutritive and medicinal food stuff. Because of containing several therapeutic agents, they are reported to be used for hundreds of years to treat several diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. The aim of this study is to determine the in vitro antimicrobial activity of Xylaria hypoxylon, which were collected from Yomra, Trabzon, Turkey. Materials and Methods: X. hypoxylon samples were air dried and extracted by using ethanol. Results: It is observed that ethanol extracts of X. hypoxylon has antimicrobial activity against several Gram positive and Gram negative microorganisms tested. As a result of the study, an antimicrobial activity of X. hypoxylon found against most of strains used in the study. Conclusion:The results of our study clearly puts forward that X. hypoxylon could have a possible medicinal use.

Antimicrobial Activity and Chemical Composition Screening of Anacyclus pyrethrum Root

“…13 Microorganism inoculum process was applied as done in previous study. The antimicrobial activity of A. pyrethrum was performed by disk diffusion test.…”

Determination of the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of Frankenia hirsuta

“…Salmonella genus is a group of Gram negative bacteria and the species belong to this genus are important foodborne pathogens. Gram negative bacteria have more resistance against aromatic plants than Gram positive bacteria (Canli et al, 2016b). F. hirsuta has antimicrobial activity against all studied Gram positive bacteria and some Gram negative bacteria has resistance against this aromatic plant extract.…”

“…Next, disks were tightly applied to the surface of plates. Finally, these plates were incubated and the inhibition zone diameters were observed (Canli et al, 2016b;2016c).…”

The antioxidation and antiproliferation activity of flavonoids from Aquilaria agallocha and Aquilaria sinensis

“…Agarwood is a well-known as incense in the oriental region such as in Taiwan, Thailand and China used as a sedative, analgesic, and digestive agent in traditional medicine. Flavonoid glycoside, volatile oil, benzenoid, sesquiterpenes and chromone derivatives were isolated and identified from the seed, leaves or stem of these plants [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Phytochemical constituents obtained from the agarwood including apigenin-7, 4'-dimethylether, genkwanin, quercetin, kaemperfol and 5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydro-2-(2-phenylethtl) chromes with different pharmacological activities [8,11,12].…”

The plant Aquilaria sinensis and Aquilaria agallocha have several pharmacological activities and shows antioxidant, anti-diabetic, antiinflammatory, and antibacterial activities [2][3][4][5][6][11][12][13][14].…”
