Arundo donax
is perennial plant belonging to the
Poaceae
family,
Arundinoideae
subfamily.
Arundo donax
is considered one of the medicinal plants, and according to
tradition, rhizomes are used in the treatment of chest, dental diseases, cystitis, diuretic
diseases, and a mixture of roots and honey is used in the treatment of cancer. The stem
contains tannins, up to 48% sugar and lactic acid, up to 6% proteins and 3% fats, and
the amount of alkaloids is 0.46% of the dry biomass of the plant. However, there is not
enough information about the proteins isolated from the root of this plant and their
biological activities. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to isolate common
proteins from the root of the plant and study of their antimicrobial activity.
During the research, total proteins were isolated from the root of
Arundo donax
. For
this, 100 g of the root of the plant was taken, crushed in a homogenizer and extracted
using a 0.2 M solution of NaOH. Proteins in the obtained extract were precipitated
using a saturated solution of ammonium sulfate and dialyzed to remove various ions
from the composition. After dialysis, the amount of proteins was determined in Lowry's
method and it was found that 100 g of root contains 1 g of protein.
After that, the antimicrobial activity of the isolated proteins was evaluated using five
species of microorganisms: Gram-positive bacteria
Bacillus subtilis
(RKMUz - 5) and
Staphylococcus aureus
(ATCC 25923); Gram-negative bacteria
Escherichia coli
(RKMUz - 221) and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(ATCC 27879); the fungus
Candida
albicans
(RKMUz - 247). According to the results of the antimicrobial activity, the
proteins of
Arundo donax
root did not show antimicrobial activities against selected
microorganisms
.
