Antibacterial Activity on pothos scandens
What's Happening
Octyl isonicotinate from Pothos scandens demonstrates potent antimicrobial action against Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) and fungal pathogens (Candida albicans) through cell membrane disruption and inhibition of essential metabolic pathways
How to Fix It
- 1
Test antimicrobial efficacy using agar well diffusion method against target pathogens
- 2
Measure zone of inhibition: expect 9.16±0.28 mm for E. coli, 12.5±0.51 mm for C. albicans
- 3
Determine MIC via resazurin reduction assay: 12.30 μg/mL for E. coli, 6.50 μg/mL for C. albicans
How to Prevent It
Apply standardized Pothos scandens extracts containing 12.30-6.50 μg/mL MIC concentration ranges for effective microbial control in botanical applications
