AI Article Synopsis
- Linalyl alcohol inhibits bacteria by disrupting their cell walls, leading to leakage of intracellular materials and exposing hydrophobic parts of the cell.
- It damages cell membranes by altering fatty acids and proteins, which impacts normal bacterial functions.
- Additionally, linalyl alcohol interacts with bacterial DNA, interfering with its normal functioning.
Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the bacterial inhibitory ability and mechanism of action of linalyl alcohol against . Linalyl alcohol causes the leakage of intracellular material by disrupting the cell wall and exposing the hydrophobic phospholipid bilayer, which binds to bacterial membrane proteins and alters their structure. In addition, linalyl alcohol causes cell membrane damage by affecting fatty acids and proteins in the cell membrane. By inhibiting the synthesis of macromolecular proteins, the normal physiological functions of the bacteria are altered. Linalyl alcohol binds to DNA in both grooved and embedded modes, affecting the normal functioning of , as demonstrated through a DNA interaction analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes essential oil extracted from dry Eucalyptus globulus leaves, focusing on its chemical composition and potential health benefits.
- The oil consists of 20 identified compounds, primarily linalool, and exhibits antifungal properties against Fusarium roseum and antibacterial effects against Pseudomonas savastanoi.
- While it shows moderate antioxidant activity, it differs from typical eucalyptus oils by being a linalool chemotype rather than eucalyptol-dominant.

Linalool is anticipated to have significant ecological roles. In this study, linalyl 6-O-α-arabinopyranosyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (linalyl β-vicianoside: LinVic) was synthesized, and a linalool diglycoside purified from soybean leaves was identified as LinVic by using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. High levels of LinVic were detected in leaves and sepals during soybean plant growth.

Background: Jinmudan (JMD) is a high-aroma variety widely cultivated in China. The current study primarily focuses on the key volatile metabolites in JMD black and oolong teas, and investigates the impact of processing technologies on the aroma quality of JMD tea. However, few studies have explored the suitability of JMD for producing a certain type of tea or the characteristic quality differences among various JMD teas using multivariate statistical analysis methods.
