Highly stabilized monodispersed silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by Rhizopus stolonifer and the antifungal efficacy of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against Candida sp. were studied. Characterization of biosynthesized nanosilver was made by TEM-EDS and AFM. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of biosynthesized AgNPs, Amphotericin B, and Fluconazole have been studied on pathogenic...

plant lipid transfer proteins (ltps) are members of the pathogenesis-related proteins (pr-14) and some of them exhibit activity against phytopathogenic fungi. to investigate whether rice ltp2 plays a role in antifungal activity, the coding region of an iranian rice ltp2 gene was cloned into expression vector pet24-d(+) and then expressed in escherichia coli rosetta strain (de3). the potential a...

effects of different carbon sources on growth and production of antifungal agent(s) by gymnopilus spectabilis were investigated. different carbon sources including; glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose, manitol and sucrose at the concentration of 10 g/l and slow releasing carbon sources including malt extract and soluble starch at the concentration of 2g/l were used. inhibition of spore germinat...

the present investigation was designed to formulate a natural tablet for the treatment of vaginal candidiasis in order to eliminate side effects that are caused by existing antifungal drugs. curcumin has promising antifungal activity in comparison with the existing azole antifungal drugs. bioadhesive curcumin vaginal tablets were prepared by direct compression with different ratios of biadhesiv...

conclusions potent antifungal activity, make this plant an effective replacement treatment for fungal infections or fungal strains that are resistance to synthetic antifungals. results thirty-two components were identified in vitex agnus-castus eo. the main compound was alpha-pinene (19.48%). the total phenolic content of eo was determined as 82.26 ± 5.94 mg gallic acid equivalent (gae)/g eo. t...

Background: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated originally from sourdough are probably the best candidates as biopreservatives, because they are well adapted to the non-aseptic conditions in sourdough fermentation. The aim of the present study was to study antifungal properties of a dominant endogenous LAB isolated from whole barley sourdough. Methods: Whole barley flour from a mixture of ba...

Background and objectives: The antifungal activity of the essential oils and their constituents against some phytopathogenic fungi has been reported. Thymus vulgaris (Lamiaceae) is one of the Thymus species.  A large number of studies have concerned the chemical compositions and antifungal activity of thyme’s oil. In order to reduce the use of synthetic fungic...
