PURPOSE Coleus amboinicus is a medicinal plant traditionally used to treat various diseases such as throat infection, cough and fever, diarrhea, nasal congestion and digestive problems. The plant was explored for endophytic fungi producing antimicrobial agents. METHODS Screening for endophytic fungi producing antimicrobial agents was conducted using agar plug method and antimicrobial activity...

the cognitive predictors (i.e.,phonological awareness, and rapid automatized naming) underlying reading achievement have not been researched in iranian partial english immersion and non-immersion programs. the present study sought to investigate the relationship between english and persian phonological awareness (pa), rapid autamatized naming (ran) and reading achievementof iranian students in ...

For centuries, Damask rose has been one of the most popular species of the rose family. Damask rose can be propagated using vegetative methods such as micropropagation. In this research, the use of temporary immersion system was reported for the first time for Damask rose micropropagation. For this reason, a traditional temporary immersion system was designed to facilitate its micropropagation....

salvia genus is one of the largest genera of the lamiaceae family. its species have been used for a wide variety of disorders in the local traditional medicine systems. therefore, the genus has been the subject of several phytochemical and biological studies. the aim of the study was to identify the major antioxidant compound(s) from the methanol extract of salvia verticillata using activity-gu...

Objective: The tamoenju (Hibiscus surattensis L.) is one of the plants as traditional medicines to treat infections. Tamoenju leaves contain alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and steroids, a potential antibacterial agent. This study aimed determine activity extract fraction against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) Salmonella typhi 14028), detect active compounds using Thin Layer Chrom...

INTRODUCTION In vitro antioxidant and antibacterial activity and volatile compositions of two Heracleum species (Apiaceae) including Heracleum transcaucasicum and Heracleum anisactis roots Essential Oil (EO) were investigated. METHODS The volatile compositions of EOs were analyzed by GC/Mass spectroscopy. To detect the antioxidant activity of essential oils TLC-bioautography and DPPH radical ...

A common screen for plant antimicrobial compounds consists of separating plant extracts by paper or thin-layer chromatography (PC or TLC), exposing the chromatograms to microbial suspensions (e.g. fungi or bacteria in broth or agar), allowing time for the microbes to grow in a humid environment, and visualizing zones with no microbial growth. The effectiveness of this screening method, known as...

Plant extracts have a long history to be used in folk medicine. Cassia alata extracts are known to exert antibacterial activity but details on compounds and mechanism of action remain poorly explored. We purified and concentrated the aqueous leaf extract of C. alata by reverse phase-solid phase extraction and screened the resulting CaRP extract for antimicrobial activity. CaRP extract exhibited...
