Article Citation - WoS: 389Citation - Scopus: 463Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activity of Essential Oil Terpenes Against Pathogenic and Spoilage-Forming Bacteria and Cell Structure-Activity Relationships Evaluated by Sem Microscopy(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2014) Zengin, Hatice; Baysal, Ayşe HandanThe antibacterial activity and antioxidant effect of the compounds α-terpineol, linalool, eucalyptol and α-pinene obtained from essential oils (EOs), against pathogenic and spoilage forming bacteria were determined. The antibacterial activities of these compounds were observed in vitro on four Gram-negative and three Gram-positive strains. S. putrefaciens was the most resistant bacteria to all tested components, with MIC values of 2% or higher, whereas E. coli O157:H7 was the most sensitive strain among the tested bacteria. Eucalyptol extended the lag phase of S. Typhimurium, E. coli O157:H7 and S. aureus at the concentrations of 0.7%, 0.6% and 1%, respectively. In vitro cell growth experiments showed the tested compounds had toxic effects on all bacterial species with different level of potency. Synergistic and additive effects were observed at least one dose pair of combination against S. Typhimurium, E. coli O157:H7 and S. aureus, however antagonistic effects were not found in these combinations. The results of this first study are encouraging for further investigations on mechanisms of antimicrobial activity of these EO components.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 40Antibacterial and Bactericidal Activity of Nitric Oxide-Releasing Natural Zeolite(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Narin, Güler; Bulut Albayrak, Çisem; Ülkü, SemraThe zeolitic tuff from Gördes (Western Anatolia) was used as adsorbent for nitric oxide (NO) storage and release purposes. The NO loading of the zeolite was performed under 20mLmin -1 NO flow at 30°C and then the zeolite was purged with inert gas in order to remove the species that were reversibly adsorbed and in the gas phase (desorption). The total and reversible adsorption capacities of the zeolite were determined from the adsorption and desorption breakthrough curves, respectively. The NO-loaded zeolite exhibited antibacterial and bactericidal activities against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis) under physiological conditions. From the NO release kinetics, the diffusion coefficient of NO in the zeolite particle was determined. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 249Citation - Scopus: 268Silver, Zinc, and Copper Exchange in a Na-Clinoptilolite and Resulting Effect on Antibacterial Activity(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Top, Ayben; Ülkü, SemraAg+-Na+, Zn2+-Na+, and Cu2+-Na+ equilibria for clinoptilolite-rich mineral from Gördes (Western Anatolia) were investigated at 25 °C and 0.1 N total solution normality. While silver exchange was favorable over the whole concentration range, zinc and copper were partially exchanged and preferred only at low concentrations. The standard free energies of exchanges for Ag+-Na+, Zn2+-Na+, and Cu2+-Na+ pairs were found as -6.0, 2.03, and 3.09 kJ/equiv., respectively. From these values, selectivity sequence was determined as Ag+>Na+ >Zn2+>Cu2+. Antibacterial activities of the exchanged samples were measured as a function of exchange level against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. Considering the selectivity sequence of the clinoptilolite and antibacterial activity results, Ag-clinoptilolite seemed to be promising antibacterial material.
