results the minimum inhibitory concentrations (mics) of ginger extract for evaluated strains were 40, 40, 20, 20, 20, 20, 10, and 5 mg/ml for pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus, klebsiella pneumoniae, bacillus cereus, acinetobacter baumannii, c. albicans, and c. krusei, respectively. ginger extract successfully inhibited biofilm formation by a. baumannii, b. cereus,...

Fructose supplementation produced cardinal features of Syndrome-X including significant elevations in seum cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose and insulin and also in body weight. While treatment with methanolic extract of dried rhizomes of Zingiber officinale produced a significant reduction in fructose induced elevation in lipid levels, bodyweight, hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, treatment...

in the present work, the bioassay screening of the essential oil and various extracts of two plants including fruits of heracleum persicum desf. and rhizomes of zingiber officinale rosc. have been studied with brine shrimp test. there is only one report about cytotoxicity of h. sphondylium in literature and so h. persicum has been used as second selection. at first essentials oil and various ex...

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles is great importance in the field nanoscience and nanotechnology. Various phytochemical constituents present whole or parts plants can act as reducing, capping stabilizing agents nanoparticle (AgNPs) by green method. In this work, AgNPs have been successfully synthesized laboratory chemical reduction NaBH4 was used a reducing agent method whereas Zingiber ...

The draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas gingeri LMG 5327 (NCPPB 3146), the causative agent of ginger blotch in Agaricus bisporus, is reported. Together with another mushroom pathogen, Pseudomonas agarici, it belongs to a distinct phylogenomic group.

Two new species of gingers (Zingiberaceae), Globba sherwoodiana W.J. Kress & V. Gowda sp. nov., and Curcuma arracanensis W.J. Kress & V. Gowda sp. nov., from Myanmar are described. The new species of Globba is currently only known in cultivation and is commonly grown and sold in markets in Myanmar. In contrast Curcuma arracanensis has been collected from a single restricted region in the cloud ...

The aim of this study is to determine the antibacterial effects of different honey samples on clinically isolated bacteria species. Ginger (Zingiber officinales) and honey are one of the nature gifts to mankind and have been used to prevent and control disease conditions. The crude extracts of the plant materials were used with pure honey collected from various parts of Kogi State. The Agar dif...

We isolated the highly potent attachment-inhibitors (three times more active than standard CuSO4 in the blue mussel assay), trans-6-, 8-, and 10-shogaols, from a hexane extract of the roots of ginger, Zingiber officinale Roscoe. Trans-8-shogaol showed the highest antifouling activity comparable with that of tributyltin fluoride (TBTF), which is recognized as one of the most effective antifoulin...
