متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of bioactive compound(s) produced by Bacillus species
Antibiotics are metabolic by-products of complex biosynthetic pathways in microorganisms. They are usually produced by aerobic spore-forming bacteria in the genera Bacillus and Streptomyces and in the Fungi Penicillium and Cephalosporium. Antimicrobials such as bacteriocins are inhibitory peptides or proteins, which have bactericidal effects on micro-organisms closely related to the producer. T...
متن کاملCollagenolytic enzymes produced by fungi: a systematic review
Specific proteases capable of degrading native triple helical or denatured collagen have been required for many years and have a large spectrum of applications. There are few complete reports that fully uncover production, characterization and purification of fungi collagenases. In this review, authors searched through four scientific on line data bases using the following keywords (collagenoly...
متن کاملCurcumin as a bioactive compound: biological properties and encapsulation methods
Curcumin is a bioactive compound from turmeric which has different biological properties and health benefits such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. However, the low solubility, poor bioavailability, and rapid degradation under neutral or alkaline pH conditions or when exposed to light, limit the food applications of curcumin. These problems can be solv...
