Traditionally, Camellia sinensis and Terminalia arjuna are being used widely to cure various diseases like cardiovascular diseases, cancer etc. In the present study, extracts of these plants were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against some human pathogenic bacteria viz. E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and fungus C. albicans. In-vitro inhibition of these pathogenic microorganisms...

the aim of this study was to analyze the impact of green tea on dentin erosion.twelve extracted sound human premolars were immersed in coca cola with a ph of 2.8 for 5 minutes. the surface microhardness was measured with a knoop diamond under a load of 50gr/10s. the teeth were immersed in green tea (camellia sinensis) solution for one minute. the microhardness values were measured again and com...

Flavonol glycosides in tea leaves have been quantified as aglycones, quercetin, myricetin, and kaempferol. Occurrence of the said compounds was reported in fruits and vegetable for a long time in association with the antioxidant potential. However, data on flavonols in tea were scanty and, hence, this study aims to envisage the flavonol content in a representative pool of accessions present in ...

Streptomyces sp. XY006 is an endophytic bacterium isolated from the young leaf material of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). The draft genome consists of 8.2 Mb and encodes 7,415 putative open reading frames. This strain is found to contain a high capacity for the production of natural products.

Fuzhuan brick tea, a kind of dark tea consumed mainly in the border regions of Southwestern and Northwestern China since the 1860s, is produced from the leaves of Camellia sinensis var. sinensis by microbial fermentation. From this special fermented tea, a new norisoprenoid, 3R,9R-oxido-5-megastigmene, was isolated, together with α-linolenic acid, strictin, isovitexin, astragalin, (+)-catechin,...

Endophytic Herbaspirillum sp. strain WT00C was isolated from tea plant (Camellia sinensis L.). Here, we report the 6.08 Mb draft genome sequence of this strain, providing bioinformation about its agronomic benefits and capability to reduce selenate/selenite into red elemental selenium.

Antibacterial Effect of Alcoholic Extracts the Eugenia Caryophyllata, Rosmarinus Officinalis, Hibiscus sabdariffa, Camellia sinensis, and Mentha Pulegium Plants on Some Bacteria in Oral Cavity: A Laboratory Study

Tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world and the tea plant, Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze, is an important crop in many countries. To increase the amount of genomic information available for C. sinensis, we constructed seven cDNA libraries from various organs and used these to generate expressed sequence tags (ESTs). A total of 17,458 ESTs were generated and assembled into 5,262...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the antimicrobial effect of mouthwashes containing Calendula officinalis L., Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze and 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate on the adherence of microorganisms to suture materials after extraction of unerupted third molars. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighteen patients with unerupted maxillary third molars indicated for extractio...
