The Studies on Antimicrobial Activities of the Lichens Ramalina farinacea (L.) Ach. and Usnea intermedia (A.Massal.) Jatta

Abstract

In this study,Ramalina farinacea (L.) Ach. and Usnea intermedia (A Massal.) Jatta lichens which were collected from The National Park around Bursa-Uludağ were investigated antimicrobial activity against the bacterial cultures; Bacillus cereus ATCC 7064, Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 14580, Citrobacter freundii ATCC 8090, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Escherichia coli ATCC 25992, Klebsiella oxytoca ATCC 8724, Listeria innocua ATCC 33090, Proteus vulgaris ATCC 8427, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Salmonella enteridis ATCC 13076, Salmonella typhimurium CCM 5445, Shigella flexneri ATCC 12022, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538P, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 3699, Streptococcus pyogenes ATCC 19615, Yersinia pestis ATCC 19428 and the yeast cultures; Candida albicans ATCC 90028, Candida glabrata ATCC 90030, Candida lipolytica ATCC 8660, Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019, Candida tropicalis ATCC 4563, Cryptococcus neoformans ATCC32045, Debaryomyces hansenii DSM 70238, Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 9796.According to the findings; while the highest antimicrobial activity of Ramalina farinacea (L.) Ach. was found against Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076 and Candida albicans ATCC 90028, the highest antimicrobial activity of Usnea intermedia (A.Massal) Jatta was evaluated against Streptococcus pyogenes ATCC 19615 and Candida albicans ATCC 90028. Lichen species were determined to show at different levels of antimicrobial activity against all other microorganisms

Ramalina farinacea (L.) Ach. ve Usnea intermedia (A.Massal.) Jatta Likenlerinin Antimikrobiyal Aktiviteleri Üzerine Araştırmalar

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Bursa-Uludağ Milli Park civarından toplanan Ramalina farinacea (L.) Ach. ve Usnea intermedia (A.Massal.) Jatta likenlerinin Bacillus cereus ATCC 7064, Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 14580, Citrobacter freundii ATCC 8090, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Escherichia coli ATCC 25992, Klebsiella oxytoca ATCC 8724, Listeria innocua ATCC 33090, Proteus vulgaris ATCC 8427, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Salmonella enteridis ATCC 13076, Salmonella typhimurium CCM 5445, Shigella flexneri ATCC 12022, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538P, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 3699, Streptococcus pyogenes ATCC 19615, Yersinia pestis ATCC 19428, Candida albicans ATCC 90028, Candida glabrata ATCC 90030, Candida lipolytica ATCC 8660, Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019, Candida tropicalis ATCC 4563, Cryptococcus neoformans ATCC 32045, Debaryomyces hansenii DSM 70238, Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 9796 türlerine karşı antimikrobiyal aktiviteleri araştırılmıştır. Bulgulara göre; Ramalina farinacea (L.) Ach. likeninin en yüksek antimikrobiyal aktivitesi Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076 ve Candida albicans ATCC 90028 türlerine karşı bulunurken, Usnea intermedia (A.Massal) Jatta likeninin en yüksek antimikrobiyal aktivitesi Streptococcus pyogenes ATCC 19615 ve Candida albicans ATCC 90028 türlerinde ölçülmüştür. Liken türlerinin diğer tüm mikroorganizmalara karşı farklı seviyelerde antimikrobiyal aktivite gösterdikleri saptanmıştır.
