Article Synopsis
- Four linear nonphenolic diarylheptanoids were synthesized and showed varying antibacterial activity against specific bacteria and a yeast using the disc diffusion method.
- The synthesis involved multiple reactions, including reductions and condensations, resulting in compounds like (4,6)-1,7-diphenylhepta-4,6-dien-3-ol and curcuminoids.
- The antimicrobial activity of these compounds was tested against two gram-positive and four gram-negative bacteria, as well as Candida albicans, demonstrating potential effectiveness within a concentration range of 20-100 μg/disc.
Indole acetic acid (IAA) is a plant growth-promoting hormone used in agriculture; therefore, its continuous production is of paramount importance. IAA-producing eight bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of Verbascum vulcanicum. Among them, Arthrobacter agilis A17 gave maximum IAA production (75 mg/L) and this strain was used to immobilization studies.
