Bioprospecting Sponge-Associated Microbes for Antimicrobial Compounds.
Sponges are the most prolific marine organisms with respect to their arsenal of bioactive compounds including antimicrobials. However, the majority of these substances are probably not produced by the sponge itself, but rather by bacteria or fungi that are associated with their host. This review for the first time provides a comprehensive overview of antimicrobial compounds that are known to be...
متن کاملBioprospecting of Neem for Antimicrobial Activity against Soil Microbes
The Present studies was carried to evaluate the antimicrobial activity against soil microbes which causes corrosion on buried metal in acidic mediated soil by agar well diffusion using aqueous and ethanol extract of Neem leaves. These plants were subjected to solvent extraction with water and ethanol on increasing the polarity to identify and isolate the antimicrobial active materials. Crude aq...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Peptides Derived from Milk: A Review
Milk proteins provide a natural source of bioactive peptides with potential health benefits and applications in the food industry. The release of these peptides from milk proteins is achieved either by hydrolysis using digestive proteases or by lactic acid bacteria fermentation. Peptides, particularly those derived from milk proteins, can exert a wide range of nutritional, functional and biolog...
متن کاملantimicrobial peptides (amps)
antimicrobial peptides (amps) are extensive group of molecules that produced by variety tissues of invertebrate, plants, and animal species which play an important role in their immunity response. amps have different classifications such as; biosynthetic machines, biological sources, biological functions, molecular properties, covalent bonding patterns, three dimensional structures, and molecul...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Peptides
The rapid increase in drug-resistant infections has presented a serious challenge to antimicrobial therapies. The failure of the most potent antibiotics to kill "superbugs" emphasizes the urgent need to develop other control agents. Here we review the history and new development of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), a growing class of natural and synthetic peptides with a wide spectrum of targets i...
