Antibacterial activity of the sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Aquatics are a source of bioactive compounds that these compounds have different properties such as antimicrobial activity. In this study, antibacterial activity of methanol, chloroform and hexane extracts from body wall, gonad and intestine of sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota was evaluated against Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Bioactive compounds of body wall, gonad and intestine of the sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota collected from the north coast of the Persian Gulf were extracted using methanol, chloroform and hexane. The antibacterial activity was determined using the serial dilution method. The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration was evaluated by broth micro dilution method. Results demonstrated that the P.aeruginosa was shown to be the most sensitive microorganism. All concentrations of methanol extracts from body wall, gonad and intestine did not show antibacterial activity against B.subtilis and S.aureus. Methanol extracts of gonad and intestine and chloroform extract from body wall showed no antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa. Hexane extract from gonad had no inhibitory effect on the growth of B. subtilis in any of the concentrations. Other extracts had antibacterial effect in certain concentrations studied. None of the extracts showed any bactericidal effect against B. subtilis. Based on findings of this study, sea cucumber extracts can be considered as a natural antibiotic in the future research.

متن کاملDiversity and function of aerobic culturable bacteria in the intestine of the sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota.
Sea cucumbers play an important role in nutrient cycling of marine ecosystems by consuming sediments and moving sand, thus occupying a similar niche to earthworms in terrestrial ecosystems. However, our understanding of microbial diversity and functions associated with sea cucumbers is meager. Here, we isolated 141 bacterial strains under aerobic conditions using various media from the intestin...
متن کاملScreening and characterization of novel polymorphic microsatellite markers from sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota has high me-dicinal value and rich nutritional edible value, and thus is a commercially important aquatic product in China. Microsatellite loci were developed and screened using a fast isolation protocol and amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequences containing repeats. In this study, 16 novel polymorphic microsatellite markers in H. leucospilot...
متن کاملHemolytic and Cytotoxic Properties of Saponin Purified from Holothuria leucospilota Sea Cucumber
Background: Holothuroids (sea cucumbers) are members of the phylum echinodermata, which produce saponins. Saponins exhibit a wide spectrum of pharmacological and biological activities. In this study, we isolated the crude saponins from the body wall of the dominant Iranian species of sea cucumber, Holothuria leucospilota (H. leucospilota). The purpose of this study was to confirm the presence o...
