Progress of Antimicrobial Mechanisms of Stilbenoids

mycolabadmin

Stilbenoids are natural compounds found in plants that can fight harmful bacteria and fungi in multiple ways. Unlike traditional antibiotics that only kill microbes, stilbenoids can also prevent infections by disrupting biofilm formation and weakening pathogen virulence. These compounds show promise in combating drug-resistant infections without promoting further resistance development, making them valuable candidates for new antibiotic medicines.

Exploring the health benefits of Ganoderma: antimicrobial properties and mechanisms of action

mycolabadmin

Ganoderma is a medicinal mushroom that has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years and shows promise as a natural antibiotic. The mushroom contains special compounds like polysaccharides and triterpenoids that can kill harmful bacteria and fungi by damaging their cell walls and boosting your immune system. Recent research shows it works against common infections like those caused by staph bacteria and E. coli, and may even help fight antibiotic-resistant germs.

Bacillus velezensis CNPMS-22 as biocontrol agent of pathogenic fungi and plant growth promoter

mycolabadmin

This research demonstrates that a beneficial bacterium called Bacillus velezensis CNPMS-22 can effectively protect maize plants from fungal diseases caused by Fusarium verticillioides. When used to treat seeds before planting, this bacterium reduced disease symptoms and increased crop yield to levels comparable with chemical fungicides. The bacteria produces natural compounds that kill harmful fungi and promote plant growth, offering a safer and more sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides.

Natural Antimicrobial Compounds as Promising Preservatives: A Look at an Old Problem from New Perspectives

mycolabadmin

This review examines natural alternatives to synthetic food preservatives, which are increasingly recognized as potentially harmful. Natural antimicrobial compounds from plants, fungi, and other sources can effectively prevent food spoilage and bacterial contamination. New technologies using light and ultrasound can enhance these natural compounds’ effectiveness. While promising, these natural preservatives need more research and regulatory approval before widespread industrial use.
