Antimicrobial profile of Arthrobacter kerguelensis VL-RK_09 isolated from Mango orchards.

An actinobacterial strain VL-RK_09 having potential antimicrobial activities was isolated from a mango orchard in Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh (India) and was identified as Arthrobacter kerguelensis. The strain A. kerguelensis VL-RK_09 exhibited a broad spectrum of in vitro antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi.

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of novel benzoxazine sulfonamide derivatives.

A new series of benzoxazine-6-sulfonamide derivatives were synthesized in excellent yields and the resulting compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities. All the synthesized compounds were assessed for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Among them 1a, 1b, 1c, 1e, 1h, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2g, 2h, 2i, 2j, 2k and 2l showed low inhibitory concentration (MIC of 31.
