Antibacterial Activity of Polygonum Orientale Extracts Against Clavibacter Michiganensis subsp. michiganensis, the Agent of Bacterial Canker of Tomato Disease

Abstract Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm), which is a Gram positive bacterium, causes the bacterial canker of tomato disease. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Polygonum orientale extracts against Cmm. In this study, firstly, effects of three extracting parameters (extractive time, extractive temperature, and solid to liquid ratio) of orthogonal experiment design L27 (313) were conducted. Secondly, survival rate was determined and inhibition zone of Cmm rescued post-stress was monitored. Finally, extracellular OD260nm value, extracellular protein content, conformational structure of membrane protein, extracellular alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity, and ATPase activity were measured to investigate the antibacterial mechanism. Results of orthogonal experiment revealed that extractive time and extractive temperature had highly significant (P<0.01) effects on the antibacterial activity of P. orientale extracts. The optimum conditions were as follows: 10h of extractive time, 60°C of extractive temperature, and 1:20 (g:mL) of solid to liquid ratio. This study also demonstrated that the living cells of each sample from survival rate test had almost no resistance or adaptability, and rescued Cmm cells were much easier to be inhibited by P. orientale extracts. The results of antibacterial mechanism indicated that cell membrane and cell wall of Cmm were seriously damaged by P. orientale extracts, and P. orientale extracts reduced the intracellular ATPase activity dramatically. All these findings suggested that P. orientale extracts had a strong antibacterial activity to inhibit Cmm, and could be used for the ecological management of the bacterial canker of tomato disease.

Resumen Se sintetizó el catalizador Cu/MCM-41 mediante impregnación húmeda incipiente y se caracterizó por DRX, XPS, TPD-NH3 y adsorción-desorción de N2. Se evaluó el efecto de diferentes condiciones de reacción (temperatura, tiempo, tipo de solvente y cantidad de catalizador) en la isomerización del epóxido de α-pineno para la obtención de aldehído canfolénico con el catalizador Cu/MCM-41, que no había sido reportado previamente para este tipo de reacción. Se partió de un diseño experimental central compuesto mediante análisis de superficie de respuesta. Se encontró que la mejor selectividad fue de 85% (5 mg de catalizador; 70 °C; 0,5 h y el uso de acetato de etilo como solvente). Adicionalmente, se determinaron los principales factores y sus combinaciones que tenían mayor significancia en la síntesis del aldehído ajustado a un modelo polinomial de segundo grado. Se encontró que los factores que tienen mayor influencia en la conversión son la cantidad de catalizador, tiempo de reacción, el tipo de solvente y el factor combinado entre la cantidad de catalizador y el tipo de solvente. En el caso de la selectividad hacia el producto deseado no se encontró ningún factor significativo.

Abstract The Cu/MCM-41 catalyst was synthesized by incipient wet impregnation and characterized by XRD, XPS, TPD-NH3, and N2 adsorption-desorption. The effect of different reaction conditions (temperature, time, type of solvent, and amount of catalyst) on the isomerization reaction of α-pinene epoxide was evaluated to obtain camphoric aldehyde with the Cu/MCM-41 catalyst, which had not been previously reported for this kind of reaction. The experiment was based on a central composite experimental design composed by response surface analysis. The best campholenic aldehyde selectivity was found to be 85% (5 mg of catalyst, 70 °C, 0.5 h and the use of ethyl acetate as a solvent). Furthermore, the main factors and their combinations that had the greatest significance in the synthesis were adjusted to a polynomial second order model. The factors with the main influence on conversion were the catalyst amount, reaction time, solvent type, and the combined factor between catalyst amount and the solvent type. In the case of campholenic aldehyde selectivity no significant factor was found.
