Vibrio spp. from Macrobrachium amazonicum prawn farming are inhibited by Moringa oleifera extracts

Abstract

The extracts of pods, flowers and leaves of M. oleifera have potential for the control of Vibrio spp. Further studies are necessary to isolate the bioactive compounds responsible for this antimicrobial activity.

Proximate Composition, Amino and Fatty Acid Profiles and Element Compositions of Four Different Moringa Species

“…Moringa leaves are seemingly lower in glucosinolate content with concentrations between 5.3 and 70.2 mg/g DM (Bennett et al, 2003). They might be the reason for a described antibacterial and antifungal activity (Fahey, Zalcman, & Talalay, 2001), are believed to play a role in the plant's defence (Redovniković, Glivetić, Delonga, & Vorkapić-Furač, 2009) and have potential uses for medicinal purposes for humans and animals (Bennett et al, 2003;Brilhante et al, 2015).…”

“…The large discrepancy in scientific interest is likely based on several important and advantageous properties of M. oleifera; of which the most important and well known is probably the coagulation ability of specific seed proteins (Olsen, 1987;Gassenschmidt et al, 1995;Muyibi & Evison, 1995;Ndabigengesere, Narasiah, & Talbot, 1995;Ndabigengesere & Narasiah, 1998). Other reasons that M. oleifera has been the focus of study are the potential utilization of the seeds as a feed additive (Ben Salem & Makkar, 2009;Hlophe & Moyo, 2014; T. P. Singh, P. Singh, & Kumar, 2015) or insecticide (Benelli, 2015); the importance of the leaves for human nutrition (Subadra, Monica, & Dhabhai, 1997;Babu, 2000;Fahey, 2005;Thurber & Fahey, 2009); including its potential use as a human famine food (Sena et al, 1998) and as animal feed (Richter et al, 2003;Negesse, Makkar, & Becker, 2009;Abbas, 2013) and the medical potential of all plant parts (Anwar et al, 2007;Jaeschke, Williams, McGill, Xie, & Ramachandran, 2013); including the antibiotic activity of pods, flowers and leaves (Brilhante et al, 2015).…”

Biological, nutritional, and therapeutic significance of Moringa oleifera Lam

“…Numerous investigations have recommended that different extracts from various tissues of M. oleifera showed antibacterial properties against both gram‐negative and gram‐positive bacteria viz., fresh leaf juice against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus (Caceres, Cabrera, Morales, Mollinedo, & Mendia, ); aqueous leaf extract against S. aureus , Vibrio cholerae , and Escherichia coli (Vieira, Mourao, Angelo, Costa, & Vieira, ); methanol extract of leaves against 13 different bacterial strains tested, including E. coli , Enterobacter aerogenes , Klebsiella pneumonia , P. aeruginosa , and Providencia stuartii (Dzotam et al, ); ethanol extracts of foliages and seeds against Trichophyton rubrum , T. mentagrophytes , Epidermophyton floccosum , and Microsporum canis (Chuang et al, ); chloroform and ethanol extracts of seeds and foliage against E. coli , P. aeruginosa , S. aureus , and E. aerogenes (Bukar, Uba, & Oyeyi, ); chloroform extract of flowers and ethanol extract of pods against V. cholera , V. vulnificus , and V. mimicus (Brilhante et al (); water‐soluble seed lectin against S. aureus and E. coli (Ferreira et al, ); phenolics rich extract of seed flour against Bacillus cereus , S. aureus , E. coli , and Yersinia enterocolitica (Govardhan‐Singh, Negi, & Radha, ); hexane, petroleum ether, butanol, chloroform, acetone, ethyl acetate, methanol, and water extracts of pod husk against S. aureus , S. epidermidis , Salmonella typhimurium , E. coli , and K. pneumonia (Arora & Onsare, ); acetone extract of foliage against S. aureus , Enterococcus faecalis , E. coli , P. aeruginosa , Candida albicans , Aspergillus fumigates , and Cryptococcus neoformans (Ratshilivha, Awouafack, du Toit, & Eloff, ); aqueous, methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of seeds against E. coli , K. pneumoniae , Proteus mirabilis , P. aeruginosa , and S. aureus (Emmanuel et al, ); ethyl acetate extract of bark against S. aureus , Citrobacter freundii , B. megaterium , and P. fluoescens (Zaffer et al, ); flavonoids extract of seeds against S. aureus , P. aeruginosa , and C. albicans (Onsare & Arora, ).…”
