Spectroscopic Characterization and Biological Effects of 1-Oxo-bisabolone-rich Hutch. subsp. Essential Oil Against Viruses, Bacteria, and Spore Germination.

species are used as herbal medicine and in the preparation of decoctions in several Asian and African regions. Among them, the plant is known for its medicinal properties, but comprehensive studies on its biological activity are still limited. This study examined the properties of the essential oil (EO) extracted by and collected in Morocco during the flowering period.

Study of the Antimicrobial Activity of the Human Peptide SQQ30 against Pathogenic Bacteria.

Given the continuous increase in antibiotic resistance, research has been driven towards the isolation of new antimicrobial molecules. Short, charged, and very hydrophobic antimicrobial peptides have a direct action against biological membranes, which are less prone to developing resistance. Using a bioinformatic tool, we chose the SQQ30 peptide, isolated from the human SOGA1 protein.
