Bioactive Compounds Produced by Hypoxylon fragiforme against Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms
Treating infections organized in biofilms is a challenge due to the resistance of the pathogens against antibiotics and host immune cells. Many fungi grow in a wet environment, favorable for the growth of bacterial biofilms, and we speculated that fungi possess some strategies to control these bacterial biofilms. A fungus identified as Hypoxylon fragiforme, was collected in the Harz Mountains, ...
متن کاملAlgal bioactive diversities against pathogenic microbes
Algae are described as heterogeneous group of organisms with considerable metabolic diversities. Currently, various bioactive compounds are discovered, isolated and used from different classes of algae to develop novel pharmaceuticals. Detectable substances such as, sterols and stanols, isoprenoide, terpenoids, steroid, phenolic compounds, fatty acids, acrylic acid and alkaloids in their extrac...
متن کاملBeneficial Oral Biofilms as Smart Bioactive Interfaces
Periodontitis is a very common health problem caused by formation of pathogenic bacterial biofilm that triggers inflammation resulting in either reversible gingivitis or irreversible periodontal hard and soft tissue damages, leading to loss of teeth when left untreated. Commensal bacteria play an important role in oral health in many aspects. Mainly by colonizing oral tissues, they (i) contribu...
متن کاملBioactive Natural Matrices and Compounds
The demand for healthy ingredients and a natural way of preventing diseases is contributing to the increased use of natural matrices. There has been a lot of research indicating that general antioxidant properties are not the contributing factors to improving human health but rather the antioxidant properties of specific compounds involved in specific cell signaling mechanisms that need to be e...
متن کاملEditorial: Bioactive Compounds from Microbes
Editorial on the Research Topic Bioactive Compounds from Microbes Microorganisms are ubiquitous and essentially interact with all the other organisms present in the biosphere, sometimes creating a network of signals that constitutes the basis for life on the Earth. Clarifying the nature of these molecular signals, their targets and the pathways underlying their production, constitutes the essen...
