Antimicrobial peptides are an abundant group of proteinaceous compounds widely produced in the plant kingdom. Among them, the gamma-thionin family, also known as plant defensins, represents one typical family and comprises low molecular mass cysteine-rich proteins, usually cationic and distributed
This study was undertaken to examine the antimicrobial property of azuki beans (Vigna angularis). The water extracts of green, black and red colored azuki beans showed antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus, Aeromonas hydrophila and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. In contrast, the extract of
The present work was carried out to determine the characteristics and antibacterial activity of 7S and 11S globulins isolated from cowpea seed (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.). The molecular mass of 7S globulin was demonstrated by SDS-PAGE bands to be of about 132, 129 and 95 kDa corresponding
A plant growth-promoting bacterial strain, PM 105, isolated from a tea plantation soil from the North Eastern region of India was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa through classical and 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) gene sequencing. Further studies with this strain confirmed broad spectrum antifungal
Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) isolated from Vigna mungo (Black gram) produced bacteriocin that inhibits both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and better heat stability (100 °C for 30 min). The bacteriocin was sensitive to protease treatment and most active in acidic pH. Bacteriocin
Plant defensins are small cysteine-rich proteins commonly synthesized in plants, encoded by large multigene families. Most plant defensins that have been characterized to date show potent antifungal and/or bactericidal activities. This report describes VuD1, an unusual defensin that is able to
Effect of mung bean and sprouted mung bean (Vigna radiata) was investigated on meat tenderness, microbial and sensory characteristics. Results showed that treatment of aqueous extract obtained from sprouted mung powder and mung powder have beneficial effect (P < 0.05) on tenderness of chicken breast
