Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic syndrome known to contribute to impaired wound healing. This condition can be further worsened by excessive melanin production, elastin degradation, and chronic infections at the wound site, potentially leading to melasma and diabetic dermopathy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the phytochemical profile and inhibitory effects of essential oil (TAEO) on target enzymes involved in diabetes pathogenesis and chronic wound remodeling, namely -amylase, -glucosidase, tyrosinase, and elastase, as well as its antibacterial activity.

Herein, we isolated three triterpenoid saponins from the methanol extract of the fruit pulp of argan The structures of the identified compounds were determined using comprehensive NMR spectroscopy analyses (H, C NMR, COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, and HSQC), combined with mass spectroscopy. Gas chromatography (GC) was utilized to determine the monosaccharide contents after the samples underwent methanolysis and their glycoside configuration was proved their trimethylsilyl derivatives. Furthermore, the methanol extract of the fruit pulp and its n-butanol fraction were evaluated for their antioxidant properties DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays, antidiabetic activity using α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition activities, and antibacterial properties utilizing microdilution and antibiofilm assays.

Zaitra, , is an aromatic plant with a long history of use in traditional medicine. In this study, we assessed the mineral composition, nutritional value, phytocontents, and dermatological properties of the aerial parts of The plant contained high contents of calcium and iron, moderate levels of magnesium, manganese, and zinc, and low contents of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, and copper. It is rich in several amino acids, including asparagine, 4-hydroxyproline, isoleucine, and leucine, and the essential amino acids account for 60.

Article Synopsis
  • Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can enhance plant health and soil fertility, contributing to eco-friendly agriculture and reducing chemical use.
  • Many PGPB carry antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), posing a risk of transferring these genes to other microorganisms and potentially impacting human and environmental health.
  • The review highlights the need for better screening and regulation of ARGs in biofertilizers to minimize the risks while maximizing the benefits of using bacteria for crop improvement.

Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) have attracted much attention in agriculture biotechnology as biological inputs to sustain crop production. The present study describes a halotolerant phosphate solubilizing bacterium associated with quinoa plant roots. Based on a metabolic screening, one bacterial isolate, named QA2, was selected and screened for PGPR traits.
