Bacterial degradation of benzyl isothiocyanate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bacteria that degrade benzyl isothiocyanate to benzylamine and hydrogen sulfide were isolated from papaya pulp homogenate by enrichment culture techniques. These organisms were identified as members of Enterobacter cloacae.

Volatile Constituents of the Seed Kernel and Leaf of Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori, Agricolt. Cultivated in Chabahar (Iran)
Volatile constituents of the seed kernel and leaf of cultivated Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori, Agricolt collected after hydrolysis were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Five glucosinolate degradation products which constituted almost the whole isolated oil of the seed kernel were identified to be: isobutyl isothiocyanate (94.0%), isopropyl isothiocyanate (4.9%), sec-butyl isothiocy...
متن کاملCancer Preventive Isothiocyanates Induce Selective Degradation of Cellular - and -Tubulins by Proteasomes*
Although it is conceivable that cancer preventive isothiocyanates (ITCs), a family of compounds in cruciferous vegetables, induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through a mechanism involving oxidative stress, our study shows that binding to cellular proteins correlateswith their potencies of apoptosis induction. More recently, we showed that ITCs bind selectively to tubulins. The differential ...
متن کاملNaturally Occurring Isothiocyanates Exert Anticancer Effects by Inhibiting Deubiquitinating Enzymes.
The anticancer properties of cruciferous vegetables are well known and attributed to an abundance of isothiocyanates such as benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC). While many potential targets of isothiocyanates have been proposed, a full understanding of the mechanisms underlying their anticancer activity has remained elusive. Here we report that BITC and PEITC effe...
متن کاملInsights into the mode of action of benzyl isothiocyanate on Campylobacter jejuni.
Campylobacter jejuni is a widespread pathogen responsible for most of the food-borne gastrointestinal diseases in Europe. The use of natural antimicrobial molecules is a promising alternative to antibiotic treatments for pathogen control in the food industry. Isothiocyanates are natural antimicrobial compounds, which also display anticancer activity. Several studies described the chemoprotectiv...
متن کاملIsothiocyanates as effective agents against enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli: insight to the mode of action
Production of Shiga toxins by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) which is responsible for the pathogenicity of these strains, is strictly correlated with induction of lambdoid bacteriophages present in the host's genome, replication of phage DNA and expression of stx genes. Antibiotic treatment of EHEC infection may lead to induction of prophage into a lytic development, thus increasing ...
