Ocimum sanctum L. is commonly named Tulsi in India, an herb belonging to the Lamiaceae family. It has enormous medicinally valuable essential oils such as eugenol, oleanolic acid, carvacrol, linalool secondary metabolites. used treat various diseases Ayurveda and also processes of several pharmacological properties antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, antidiabetic, antifertility, hepatoprote...

The present work aimed to review ten species of Ficus which is belong the Moraceae family. In total, 36 articles were reviewed by using online search engine PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web Science. Ten searched for phytochemicals documentation, resulted in 250 secondary metabolites 400 different compounds. Alkaloids compounds such as liriodenine lysicamine, terpenes, steroids, flavonoid...

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genes MILDEW RESISTANCE LOCUS O2 (MLO2), MLO6, and MLO12 exhibit unequal genetic redundancy with respect to the modulation of defense responses against powdery mildew fungi and the control of developmental phenotypes such as premature leaf decay. We show that early chlorosis and necrosis of rosette leaves in mlo2 mlo6 mlo12 mutants reflects an authentic but un...

Active coating systems are a promising postharvest strategy for managing quality attributes while controlling diseases of fresh fruit. This work aims to determine the respiration, quality, antioxidant attributes, and shelf life mango treated with different natural antifungal coatings produced by Lacto-fermented compounds. The respiration rates were modeled using uncompetitive Michaelis-Menten m...

Halophytes have long been used for medicinal purposes. However, many decades, their use was entirely empirical, with virtually no knowledge of the bioactive compounds underlying different applications. In recent growing problem antibiotic resistance triggered research on alternative antimicrobial approaches, and halophytes, along other plants, regained attention as an underexplored pharmacologi...

Nonribosomal peptides, synthesized by nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS), are an important group of diverse bioactive fungal metabolites. Xylaria sp. BCC1067, which is known to produce a variety of biologically active metabolites, was studied for gene encoding NRPS by two different PCR-based methods and seven different NRPS fragments were obtained. In addition, screening a genomic library ...

Fungi residing in mangroves are considered to be a bank of novel bioactive natural products. In the screening for bioactive metabolites from mangrove-derived fungi, the ethyl acetate extract of the fermentation broth of Aspergillus fumigatus JRJ111048, a fungus isolated from the leaves of the mangrove plant Acrostichum specioum endemic to Hainan island, was found to possess insecticidal activit...

Leaf-cutting ants cultivate the fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, which serves as a major food source. This symbiosis is threatened by microbial pathogens that can severely infect L. gongylophorus. Microbial symbionts of leaf-cutting ants, mainly Pseudonocardia and Streptomyces, support the ants in defending their fungus gardens against infections by supplying antimicrobial and antifungal com...

Control of fungal pathogens is mainly addressed by chemically synthesized fungicides which, after a prolonged use, produce environment pollution and develop resistance. In this context, endophytes have been recognized as potential biocontrolers and also potential source of antifungal metabolites. Therefore, as part of our research on phytopathogen controllers, 355 fungal endophytes were isolate...

BACKGROUND The quinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxides (QdNOs) were known as potent antibacterial agents. For the purpose of evaluating the bioactivity of existing animal-used QdNOs drugs against representative pathogenic microorganism, the representative drugs of quinoxalines including cyadox, mequindox, quinocetone and their metabolites were submitted to the in vitro evaluation for antituberculosis, anti...
