Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Microbiology
  • Botany

Background:

  • Food and crop contamination by microorganisms poses a significant threat to global food security.
  • Plant-derived compounds are a potential source for novel antimicrobial agents.
  • The Valencian Community is a biodiverse region with unexplored ethnobotanical resources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the antimicrobial potential of 22 plant species from the Valencian Community.
  • To identify plant species with fungicidal and bactericidal activities against common foodborne and crop-contaminating microorganisms.

Main Methods:

  • Phytochemical screening of 22 plant species.
  • Antimicrobial assays were performed against 9 fungal and 6 bacterial strains.
  • Determination of fungicidal and bactericidal activity.

Main Results:

  • Several plant species exhibited antimicrobial activity.
  • Specific plant extracts showed potent fungicidal effects against tested fungal strains.
  • Other extracts demonstrated significant bactericidal effects against tested bacterial strains.

Conclusions:

  • The study identified promising plant species with antimicrobial properties from the Valencian Community.
  • These findings support the potential use of these plants as natural sources for antimicrobial agents.
  • Further research into the active compounds and mechanisms of action is warranted.
