Increasing the oxidative stress response allows Escherichia coli to overcome inhibitory effects of condensed tannins

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on tannins, polyphenols with antimicrobial effects. The study of the tannin toxicity mechanism toward Escherichia coli has been carried out via the use of Acacia mearnsii extract as a condensed tannin source, and the details are reported.

1,8-Dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN)-melanin biosynthesis inhibitors increase erythritol production in Torula corallina, and DHN-melanin inhibits erythrose reductase

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on melanin. Results demonstrate that melanin production decrease can be carried out via the use of melanin biosynthesis inhibitors, and that DHN-melanin is a by-product of erythritol production by Torula corallina.

Production and properties of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances from the swine pathogen Streptococcus suis serotype 2

Article Abstract:

The authors discuss the study of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 isolates found in swine's upper respiratory tract. The production of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances by these isolates is described.
