This paper is concerned with composition and antibacterial activities of ethyl acetate extracts from 3 species of Laurencia (Rhodophyta): Laurencia papillosa, Laurencia flexilis and Laurencia cartilaginea collected from the southern coasts of Vietnam. The results showed that ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extracts of these species displayed antibacterial activities against Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The qualitative investigations revealed the presence of two sesquiterpene secondary metabolites Elatol and Palisadin A in EtOAc extracts from the three above- mentioned Laurencia species.

En el presente trabajo se evaluaron las actividades antimicrobianas de extractos etanólicos y hexánicos de nueve especies de macroalgas marinas recolectadas en la zona intermareal de la playa San Francisco, Ancón, de Lima, Perú. La evaluación se realizó in vitro frente a un panel de bacterias estándar Gram positivas (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 y Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 51922) y Gram negativas (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 y Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 14028). Los extractos etanólicos fueron de mayor rendimiento (67%) en comparación a los hexánicos (33%), en especial frente a los Gram positivos, siendo el extracto obtenido de Ulva enteromorpha var. intestinalis y U. nematoidea los más activos frente a S. aureus ATCC 6538 (74.1 y 78.2 % de inhibición, respectivamente). Los extractos etanólicos de Cladophora sp y U. nematoidea frente a B. subtilis ATCC 6633 presentaron inhibiciones entre moderada y baja (52.5 y 33%, respectivamente). Los extractos etanólicos de U. enteromorpha y Cladophora sp frente a S. Typhimurium presentaron solo 40% de inhibición. El extracto etanólico de Cladophora sp fue el único que presentó actividad antimicrobiana frente a las cinco cepas bacterianas y fue elegida para determinar la Concentración Mínima Inhibitoria (CMI), que resultó en 12.5 y 25 mg/ml frente a B. subtilis ATCC 6633 y S. aureus ATCC 6538, respectivamente. Se concluye que, la mayoría de las macroalgas estudiadas contienen compuestos inhibitorios, cuyos extractos etanólico y hexánico son capaces de inhibir el crecimiento de bacterias patógenas.

Bakterijska nanoceluloza (BNC) je obnovljiva prirodna polimerna sirovina koju karakteriziraju izvrsna svojstva poput visoke kristaliničnosti i stupnja polimerizacije, hidrofilnosti, kiralnosti, biorazgradivosti, te sposobnosti stvaranja različitih morfologija polukristaliničnih vlakana. U ovom je radu istraživan uzgoj kombuche u aerobnim uvjetima tijekom 14 dana fermentacije u kokosovoj vodi na sobnoj temperaturi, pri različitim koncentracijama saharoze. Praćene su promjene pH vrijednosti, koncentracije etanola, octene, glukonske i mliječne kiseline, kao i prinos BNC. Istraživana je kinetika otpuštanja vode iz sintetizirane BNC, a rezultati su potvrdili da su uzorci pogodni za zacjeljivanje rana na koži. Antimikrobna aktivnost kombuche je testirana na bakterijama Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium i Bacillus subtilis, te kvascu vrste Candida albicans. Uočena je antimikrobna aktivnost fermentirane kokosove vode na bakterije, no ne u potpunosti i na kvasac C. albicans.

ABSTRACT The deduced product of the Bacillus subtilis ytvP gene is similar to that of ORF13, a gene of unknown function in the Lactococcus lactis histidine biosynthesis operon. AB. subtilis ytvP mutant was auxotrophic for histidine. The only enzyme of the histidine biosynthesis pathway that remained uncharacterized in B. subtilis was histidinol phosphate phosphatase (HolPase), catalyzing the penultimate step of this pathway. HolPase activity could not be detected in crude extracts of the ytvP mutant, while purified glutathione S-transferase-YtvP fusion protein exhibited strong HolPase activity. These observations demonstrated that HolPase is encoded by ytvP inB. subtilis and led us to rename this genehisJ. Together with the HolPase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the presumed HolPases ofL. lactis and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, HisJ constitutes a family of related enzymes that are not homologous to the HolPases of Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Haemophilus influenzae.

<p>An important link in solving the problem of healthy food is the intensification of the livestock, poultry and fish farming, which is possible only in the adoption and rigorous implementation of the concept of rational feeding of animals. In the implementation of this concept required is the application of probiotic preparations. Currently, there is an increased interest in spore probiotics. In many ways, this can be explained by the fact that they use no vegetative forms of the bacilli and their spores. This property provides spore probiotics a number of advantages: they are not whimsical, easily could be selected, cultivated, and dried. Moreover, they are resistant to various factors and could remain viable during a long period. One of the most famous spore microorganisms, which are widely used in agriculture, is <em>Bacillus subtilis</em>. Among the requirements imposed to probiotic microorganisms is mandatory – antagonistic activity to pathogenic and conditional-pathogenic microflora. The article presents the results of the analysis of antagonistic activity of collection strains of <em>B. subtilis</em>, and strains isolated from commercial preparations. We studied the antagonistic activity on agar and liquid nutrient medias to trigger different antagonism mechanisms of <em>B. subtilis</em>. On agar media, we applied three diffusion methods: perpendicular bands, agar blocks, agar wells. We also applied the method of co-incubating the test culture (<em>Escherichia coli</em>) and the antagonist (or its supernatant) in the nutrient broth. Our results demonstrated that all our explored strains of <em>B. subtilis</em> have antimicrobial activity against a wild strain of <em>E. coli</em>, but to varying degrees. We identified strains of <em>B. subtilis</em> with the highest antagonistic effect that can be recommended for inclusion in microbial preparations for agriculture.</p><p><em><br /></em><em></em></p>

Background: [1, 3, 4]oxadiazolenone core containing chalcones and nucleosides were synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of a variety of benzaldehyde derivatives, obtained from oxidation of substituted 5-(3/6 substituted-4-Methylphenyl)-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one and various substituted acetophenone. The resultant chalcones were coupled with penta-O-acetylglucopyranose followed by deacetylation to get [1, 3, 4] oxadiazolenone core containing chalcones and nucleosides. Various analytical techniques viz IR, NMR, LC-MS and elemental analysis were used to confirm the structure of the synthesised compounds.The compounds were targeted against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli for antibacterial activity and Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum for antifungal activity. Methods: A mixture of Acid hydrazides (3.0 mmol) and N, Nʹ- carbonyl diimidazole (3.3 mmol) in 15 mL of dioxane was refluxed to afford substituted [1, 3, 4]-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one. The resulted [1, 3, 4]- oxadiazole-2(3H)-one (1.42 mmol) was oxidized with Chromyl chloride (1.5 mL) in 20 mL of carbon tetra chloride and condensed with acetophenones (1.42 mmol) to get chalcones 4. The equimolar ratio of obtained chalcones 4 and β -D-1,2,3,4,6- penta-O-acetylglucopyranose in presence of iodine was refluxed to get nucleosides 5. The [1, 3, 4] oxadiazolenone core containing chalcones 4 and nucleosides 5 were tested to determined minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value with the experimental procedure of Benson using disc-diffusion method. All compounds were tested at concentration of 5 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL, 1.25 mg/mL, 0.62 mg/mL, 0.31 mg/mL and 0.15 mg/mL for antifungal activity against three strains of pathogenic fungi Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus), Aspergillus niger (A. niger) and Fusarium oxysporum (F. oxysporum) and for antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacterium: Escherichia coli (E. coli), and two Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Bacillus subtilis(B. subtilis). Result: The chalcones 4 and nucleosides 5 were screened for antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus and B. subtilis whereas antifungal activity against A. flavus, A. niger and F. oxysporum. Compounds 4a-t showed good antibacterial activity whereas compounds 5a-t containing glucose moiety showed better activity against fungi. The glucose moiety of compounds 5 helps to enter into the cell wall of fungi and control the cell growth. Conclusion: Chalcones 4 and nucleosides 5 incorporating [1, 3, 4] oxadiazolenone core were synthesized and characterized by various spectral techniques and elemental analysis. These compounds were evaluated for their antifungal activity against three fungi; viz. A. flavus, A. niger and F. oxysporum. In addition to this, synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against gram negative bacteria E. Coli and gram positive bacteria S. aureus, B. subtilis. Compounds 4a-t showed good antibacterial activity whereas 5a-t showed better activity against fungi.
