Antagonistic, antibiofilm antioxidant and anticancer activity of secondary metabolites of isolated bacteria from mangrove soil

Different antagonistic and antioxidant medications are mostly derived from bacterial metabolites generated by mangrove species. The antagonistic bacterial strain isolated PP1 bacteria was isolated from soil samples, and its crude secondary metabolites were evaluated for antagonistic, antioxidant, and cytotoxic characteristics. Using ethanol centrifugation, the secondary metabolites of the PP1 strain were isolated, and their antagonistic […]

Antibacterial, antibiofilm and antioxidant activity of secondary metabolites of antagonistic bacterial strain Bacillus endophyticus PK2 isolated from marine soil

A prime source of diverse antibacterial and anticancer drugs is the bacterial metabolites produced by marine organisms. In this research, we isolated the antagonistic marine bacterial strain Bacillus endophyticus PK2 from seashore soil samples and assessed its antibacterial and antioxidant properties of crude secondary metabolites of strain PK2. The potent antagonistic bacterial isolate PK2 was […]

Exogenous salicylic acid stimulates secondary metabolites production in red beet

In the last few years, increasing interest in the foliar application of salicylic acid (plant hormone) on plants has considerably expanded our knowledge concerning its effects on plants’ metabolism in stresses such as freezing, drought, disease, insect attack, and nutrient deficiencies. To investigate the effects of salicylic acid (SA) on secondary metabolites (like betanin and […]

Qualitative and quantitative […]

Response of plant secondary metabolites to mutagenesis in callus cultures of Sunflower plant

Plant in vitro cultures are able to produce and accumulate many medicinally valuable secondary metabolites. Antioxidants are an important group of medicinal preventive compounds as well as being food additives inhibiting detrimental changes of easily oxidizable nutrients. Many different in vitro approaches have been used for increased biosynthesis and the accumulation of antioxidant compounds in […]

Screening plant secondary metabolites from callus cultures of sunflower

Plants produce a diverse group of secondary metabolites to guard themselves against herbivores or to attract pollinating insects. Plant cell biotechnology offers excellent opportunities in order to use such secondary plant metabolites to produce goods with consistent quality and quantity throughout the year, and therefore to act independently from biotic and abiotic environmental factors. This […]

Efficient DNA extraction and purification protocol of medicinal plants which producing large amount of secondary metabolites

Using medicinal plants is very valuable and beneficial. So, it is essential that the genetic and other molecular properties must be determined for the purposes of economy, sanitary and health, as well as maintaining natural diversity and avoiding the disappearance of endangered species in natural habitats. Although, Medicinal plants in various tissues and different stages […]

Total flavonoids, alkaloids, antioxidant assay and preliminary screening of secondary metabolites in root extract of some shrubs

Biochemically active constituents of plants are crucial and contribute to increase the plant`s economic and medicinal values. Different secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols and quinones protect the plants and also consumed as traditional health remedies. Furthermore, plant extracted secondary metabolites are being utilized in modern drugs manufacturing. The current study was carried to […]

Profiling of secondary metabolites and antimicrobial activity of Crateva religiosa G. Forst. Bark – A rare medicinal plant of Maharashtra India

In the present study Profiling of Secondary metabolites and Antimicrobial activity of Stem Bark of Crateva religiosa was carried out for validating the ethno medicinal claims. Stem Bark of this plant was analyzed for Physiochemical study, Organoleptic study and Fluorescent analysis.

Extraction of purified plants gDNA free of Secondary metabolites

Extraction of high-quality gDNA from plants is a basic step in molecular biology research. In some plant species like peanut getting the genomic DNA in its purified form is a very challenging job as compared to other crops. The reason behind which is the coexistence of different secondary metabolite impurities i.e., polyphenol and polysaccharides with […]
