Background: Essential Oils (EOs) are natural metabolic products of plants that contain a condensed chemical hydrophobic liquid compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate inhibitory effects of EOs of Cinnamon zeylanicum and Myristica fragrans against Brucella abortus 544 inoculated in fresh Baladi cheese. Methods: Fresh Baladi cheese was manufactured from experimentally contaminated milk ...

A quitosana é um biopolímero produzido pela desacetilação da quitina e tem sido bastante investigada por apresentar biocompatibilidade efeito curativo. Esses efeitos podem ser melhorados meio associação com outros materiais potencializando seu uso tópico. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi realizar a síntese de biofilmes (BQ) associados extrato aquoso Cinnamomum zeylanicum (BQC), afim ...

The anti-snake venom activities of the methanolic extract of the bulb of Crinum jagus plant (Amaryllidaceae) were investigated in vitro and in vivo against the venoms of three notable snake species: Echis ocellatus, Bitis arietans and Naja nigricollis. The extract was prepared by cold marceration in 50% methanol at 37 degrees C with intermittent shaking for 48 h. An yield of 12.8% w/w dry extra...

Somatic embryogenesis has been employed in various basic and applied studies such as cellular differentiation of plants, generating transgenic en masse and for mass propagation of elite, endangered and ornamental plants. The studies undertaken in some monocot genera (Eucharis, Hippeastrum, Crinum, Caladium, Gloriosa and Allium) suggest that in vitro embryogeny may also help in establishing rela...

BACKGROUND Medicinal plants are considered new resources for producing agents that could act as alternatives to antibiotics in the treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of 28 plant extracts and oils against four Gram-negative bacterial species. METHODS Experimental, in vitro, evaluation of the activities of 28 plant extrac...

background and objective: considering the increasing tendency of public towards green consumption and the dangers of artificial additives, this study aimed to assess antibacterial activity of essential oils of cinnamomum zeylanicum, mentha piperita l., zataria multiflora boiss and thymus vulgaris against three important pathogenic and spoilage bacteria (pseudomonas fluorescens, erwinia carotovo...
