Article Synopsis
- Medicinal plants are recognized for their antimicrobial properties, particularly through essential oils that inhibit key microbial targets and biofilm formation.
- In a study, essential oil from a specific plant was analyzed, leading to the identification of eleven compounds, with γ-elemene and caryophyllene showing strong interactions with biofilm-related target proteins CrtM and SarA.
- These compounds exhibited non-toxicity and significant binding affinities during molecular dynamic simulations, indicating their potential as biofilm inhibitors.
Cellulose obtained from plants is a bio-polysaccharide and the most abundant organic polymer on earth that has immense household and industrial applications. Hence, the characterization of cellulose is important for determining its appropriate applications. In this article, we review the characterization of cellulose morphology, surface topography using microscopic techniques including optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy.
