Item type:Publication, INVESTIGATION OF ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY FROM SCENEDESMUS SP. AND CHLAMYDOMONAS SP. CRUDE EXTRACTS(2022-01-01); Scenedesmus sp. and Chlamydomonas sp. are green microalgae used for various biotechnology applications such as an alternative biofuel, antioxidant, human supplement, aquaculture feed etc. In a decade, finding a new antibiotic resource from a novel organism is significant for pharmaceutical research. Microalgae is a promising candidate since they consist of high-value biocompounds such as β-carotene, astaxanthin, flavonoids, polysaccharide. In this study, we aimed to preliminarily investigate antifungal activities of Scenedesmus and Chlamydomonas crude extracts against to Candida albicans, a fungal pathogen. We prepared both of intracellular and extracellular (culture media) crude extracts by using ethanol and methanol as a solvent and then tested C albicans inhibition performed by agar-well diffusion assay. From the preliminary results, we found that 50 mg/mL of Scenedesmus and Chlamydomonas ethanolic crude extracts from intracellular and extracellular could inhibit C. albicans. This preliminary finding could be a platform for a further study in some bio-based organic compounds that is significant for pharmaceutical application. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, INVESTIGATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL CAPACITY AND ANTIOXIDANT EFFICIENCY FROM CHLORELLA SPP. CRUDE EXTRACTS(2023-01-01); Functional food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products are currently shared as an important part of the consumer market. Microalga plays a significant role in producing a source of good antioxidants including nutrient supplements such as chlorophyll, beta-carotene, astaxanthin etc. A Eukaryotic green microalga, Chlorella, is a unicellular microalga that itself is rich in a source of chlorophyll, carotenoids, the essential amino acids, bioactive compounds including fatty acids and these bioproducts make Chlorella as a great potential for human food and supplements, animal feed and biofuel feedstock. In this study, we aimed to test antimicrobial activity and antioxidant from four different Chlorella strains (Chlorella sp. KU11, Chlorella sp. V55, Chlorella sp. B2-59 and Chlorella sp. N11/59) for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical application. All four-ethanolic crude extracts of Chlorella were tested against six pathogens such as Streptococcus mutans ATCC25175, Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923, Escherichia coli ATCC25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853, and Candida albicans ATCC10231 using agar-well diffusion and the minimum inhibitory concentrating (MIC) assay. The result showed that 50 mg/mL of Chlorella sp. KU and Chlorella sp. V55 crude extracts could inhibit S. mutans, B. subtilis and S. aureus and 100 mg/mL of both crude extracts were able to inhibit E. coli, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans. From the minimum inhibitory concentrating (MIC) assay, we found that Chlorella sp. KU and Chlorella sp. V55 could inhibit S. mutans, B. subtilis, S. aureus E. coli, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans at 25, 50, 50, 100, 100 and 100 mg/mL, respectively and 50, 6.25, 25, 100, 100 and 100 mg/mL, respectively. The antioxidant activity of the four crude extracts were performed by DPPH radical scavenging assay and we found that the Chlorella sp. N11/59 crude extract showed the highest antioxidant efficiency with 63.73% and IC50 value was 2.8293 mg/mL. This finding suggested that microalgae can be a promising platform for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical application. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effect of serial subculturing on the adaptive potential of Dunaliella Salina strain KU11(2017-06-01); ;Wu, Z. ;Pantong, P. ;Thinthungthong, P.Sriwisat, V.Dunaliella is a halotolerant green microalga. It has the great potential for commercially generating nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and biofuel products. Dunaliella salina strain KU11 was isolated from hypersaline soil in Nakorn Ratchasrima province, Thailand [1,2]. In this study, we aimed to explore the adaptive potential of D. salina KU11 growth and biomass by using “Natural selection” that was previously successful on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii growth rate improvement [3]. In our experiments, we started growing D. salina KU11 in liquid Ramaraj’s medium [1]. The first Dunaliella population was called Progenitor Dunaliella (PD), then the alga was evolved for 100 populations (from March 2016 to February 2017) by serial subculturing and the transferred Dunaliella population was called Evolved Dunaliella (ED). We randomly analyzed growth of ED-34, ED-64 and ED-100 (the transferred Dunaliella at 34, 64, and 100 times, respectively) compared with PD. We found that ED-34 had cell density accumulation ~ 1.25 fold greater than PD in the late-log and stationary phase and a longer log phase. This result was confirmed by growth analyses of ED-64 and ED-100, they showed an increase of their cell density accumulation in log and stationary phase ~ 2-3 fold and their log phases were longer than PD about 2-5 days. We also measured cell size and found that ED-100 cells were ~1.2 fold smaller than PD cells and biomass of PD and ED-100 population was not signicant difference. Our preliminary results demonstrated that the natural selection technique affected on Dunaliella‘s cell division (or cell cycle) resulting in the higher cell density accumulation and a longer log phase. This change could be regulated by some genes changed during the selection. We further planned to study on genomic and transcriptomic analyses that will give us to better understand in cell cycle regulation of D. salina.
