Item Corchorus olitorius L. (Jute) leaf and seed extracts exerted high antibacterial activity against food and plant pathogenic bacteria(2022) Iseri, Ozlem Darcansoy; Korpe, Didem Aksoy; Sahin, Feride Iffet; Cabi, Evren; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-3462-7632; AAJ-8097-2021Aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate antibacterial activities of methanol (MetOH), acetone (Ace), petroleum ether (PE) and aqueous (dw) leaf (L), root (R), and seed (S) extracts of Corchorus olitorius L. on both food- and plant-borne pathogens, with DPPH radical scavenging activities (DRSA), and quantitative and qualitative constituent analysis. Leaf PE has the highest strain susceptibility on both food- and plant-borne pathogens. Clavibacter michiganensis, Pseudomonas tomato, and Erwinia caratovora were susceptible to nearly all the leaf and seed extracts. Very low minimum inhibitory concentration (8-128 mL(-1)) and minimum bactericidal concentration (32-2048 mu g mL(-1)) were determined for both leaf and seed extracts against C. michiganensis. Total phenolic contents were correlated to DRSA. The phenolic compounds tested were higher in the leaf MetOH, cholorogenic acid being the most abundant one. Palmitic acid was determined in leaf PE and seed PE extracts. Results presented here demonstrate high antibacterial activity of C. olitorius leaf seed extracts against phytopathogens for the first time, and provide the most comprehensive data on the antibacterial activity screening against food-borne pathogens. Considering limitations in plant disease control, antibacterial activities of these extracts would be important in plant disease control.Item One-pot facile synthesis of silk sericin-capped gold nanoparticles by UVC radiation: Investigation of stability, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity(2019) Akturk, Omer; Gok, Zehra Gun; Erdemli, Ozge; Yigitoglu, Mustafa; 0000-0001-8606-8863; 31393664; AAG-3927-2019; AAF-4496-2019Herein, an easy one-pot synthesis method for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), involving only gold salt and sericin extracted from silkworm cocoon in the presence of ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation, was developed. Nanoparticle formation was confirmed by characteristic surface plasmon resonance peaks at 520-540 nm wavelengths, and the influence of silk sericin on enhancing the colloidal stability of AuNPs was confirmed. Transmission electron microscopy examination showed the average size (<10 nm) and size distribution decreased significantly with higher sericin concentration. No antibacterial activity was observed on Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis or Gram-negative Escherichia coli for sole AuNPs (0.065-0.26 mg/ml), but the conjugation of AuNPs with streptomycin antibiotic decreased significantly the required minimum inhibitory concentration doses, as also confirmed with agar plating, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy analyses. Furthermore, sericin-capped AuNPs showed high cell viabilities (>100%) and no sign of any detectable apoptosis or necrosis in 1-day incubation. Also, high real-time cell proliferation results of AuNPs competitive with positive control groups implied excellent in vitro biocompatibility. These results evidenced that sericin enhanced the colloidal stability of AuNPs and the biological activities of sericin-capped AuNPs reported here could render them suitable nanoscale vehicles for biomedical applications.
