Antifungal and Antibacterial Evaluation of Fermented Citrus Flower Extract

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The C. aurantium flower extract was fermented by one of four lactic acid bacteria—namely, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, or Lactobacillus brevis [American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) codes 29521, 25741, 4356, and 8287, respectively)—or two fungi, namely, Aspergillus oryzae [Bioresource Collection and Research Center (BCRC) 32288] or A. niger (ATCC 42418). The activity of the fermented and unfermented extracts against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, and Aspergillus brasiliensis (ATCC codes 8739, 6538, 9027, 10231, and 16404, respectively) was evaluated on the basis of the USP 51-antimicrobial effectiveness test. These microbial strains were purchased from the BCRC (Hsinchu, Taiwan). HEMn cells from neonatal foreskin were obtained from Cascade Biologics (Cascade cat. C-102-5C, Portland, OR, USA) and cultured in human melanocyte growth supplement (HMGS)-supplemented Medium 254 (Cascade Biologics). For a comparison group, we obtained cells from the normal human skin fibroblast line CCD-966SK (ATCC CRL-1881) from the BCRC. We sourced mushroom tyrosinase and all other chemicals employed from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA) at analytical grade (purity >99%).

Skin Cell Proliferation with S. mukorossi Seed Oil

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For testing the proliferation effect of the S. mukorossi seed oil on skin cells, a cell viability assay was performed according to a previous study [36 (link)]. The human skin fibroblast cell line CCD-966SK (ATCC CRL-1881) was used for this in vitro cell analysis. The cells were seeded in 24-well plates at a concentration of 2 × 104 cells/mL and were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. The cells were then incubated in an environment of 5% CO2 at 37 °C and 100% humidity. The viability of the CCD-966SK cells exposed to S. mukorossi seed oil at a concentration of 200 μg/mL was evaluated after three days of incubation. The cell viability was assessed using the tetrazolium salt (MTT) method. After the cells were incubated with the tetrazolium salt for 4 h, 500 μL of DMSO were added to solubilize the formazan dye overnight. Since no toxic effects were observed on the cells, the emulsifier polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-oleate (Tween 80) was employed as the delivery vehicle [38 (link)]. The optical density was determined using a microplate reader (EZ Read 400, Biochrom, Holliston, MA, USA) at 570 and 690 nm.

Magnolia officinalis Rehd. et Wils. was provided from a vendor on Dihua Street, Taipei City, Taiwan, and identified by Professor Bau-Yuan Hu. A voucher specimen (20151030) was deposited in the herbarium of China University of Science and Technology, Taiwan. Aspergillus niger (ATCC 42418), Escherichia coli (ATCC 8739), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 39093), MRSA (ATCC 33591), Propionibacterium acnes (ATCC 6919), Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC 14990), Epidermophyton floccosum (ATCC 18397), and cultures of human epidermal melanocytes (HEMn) from neonatal foreskin propagated in medium 254 (Cascade Biologics, Inc., Portland, USA) containing human melanocyte growth supplement (Cascade Biologics, Inc., Portland, USA) and the normal human skin fibroblast cell line CCD-966SK (ATCC CRL-1881) were purchased from the Bioresource Collection and Research Center (Hsinchu, Taiwan). Mushroom tyrosinase was purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, USA) [3 (link)]. All chemicals used in the experiment were analytical grade (purity >99%) and obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, USA).

The assay was implemented according to the published protocols [32 (link),33 (link)]. In brief, the Alamar Blue assay was performed for compounds 219 by treating them with P388, DLD-1, HuCC-T1, and CCD966SK cancer cells, which were commercially available from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). The test was performed in triplicate, and doxorubicin was used as a positive control.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
