Current strategies to determine antifungal and antimicrobial activity of natural compounds
2021, Microbiological ResearchCitation Excerpt :This ability makes it possible to explore unique functional mechanisms of AMPs, natural occurring molecules that are important components of a host defense system and have great potential to serve as a basis for a new antimicrobial drug class targeting infectious pathogens that are difficult to treat, with unsurpassed sensitivity and accuracy compared with other techniques. A study where optimized CFM was used to examine the antimicrobial process of AMPs resulted in a highly suitability of the assay for the rapid and precise understanding of the mechanism and could have a great impact on antimicrobial drug development (Balouiri et al., 2016; Muthirulan and Chandrasekaran, 2016). Brown et al. (2019) used the FCM to quantify bacteria and estimate the biomass in activated sludge.
The structure-mechanism relationship and mode of actions of antimicrobial peptides: A review
2021, Trends in Food Science and TechnologyCitation Excerpt :According to different strategies, flow cytometry can figure out the membrane acting AMP and cell-translocating AMP, membrane acting AMP can be sub-divided into membrane pore-forming AMPS and membrane disrupting AMPs. For cell translocating AMPs, it can be sub-divided into AMPs inducing ROS, DNA damage, transcription inhibition, mitochondrial function disruption and DNA synthesis inhibition (Muthirulan & Chandrasekaran, 2016), Fig. 2 displays the strategy for discriminate membrane acting and cell-ranslocating AMP. Atomic force microscopy is a tool of great power to depict the dynamics of biologically relevant processes at aqueous interfaces with high spatial resolution.
Gene expressions and biological activities of two novel antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) isolated from leucocytes of the rock bream, Oplegnathus fasciatus
2018, AquacultureCitation Excerpt :In a previous study, we also identified and reported on the molecular characterisation and biological activity of the moronecidin and piscidin in the rock bream, O. fasciatus (Bae et al., 2014, 2016). The existence of multiple isoforms of piscidins in fish suggests a putative association between the roles of the various piscidins in innate immunity and invading pathogens, particularly in environments that are rich in microbial pathogens (Marcellini et al., 2009; Shai, 2009; Muthirulan and Chandrasekaran, 2016). In this study, we identified additionally two novel piscidin isoforms, rock bream piscidin 6 and piscidin 7 (RP6 and RP7) and described their molecular characterisation.
