Controlling bacterial biofilm formation by native and methylated lupine 11S globulins.

The antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities of the 11S globulins isolated from lupin seeds (), and its methylated derivative (M11S), were investigated against seven pathogenic gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The MIC of 11S ranged from 0.1 to 4.

RETRACTED: Isolation and Characterization of Antibacterial Conglutinins from Lupine Seeds.

The main target of this work is to discover new protein fractions from natural resources with high antibacterial action. The 7S and 11S globulin fractions, as well as the basic subunit (BS), were isolated from lupine seeds (), chemically characterized, and screened for antibacterial activity against seven pathogenic bacteria. SDS-PAGE revealed molecular weights ranging from 55 to 75 kDa for 7S globulin, 20-37 kD for 11S globulin, and 20 kD for the BS.
