Plant Thowiba Mohammed Eltayeb Mohammed Ph.D. in Biosciences and Biotechnology (Microbiology), August, 2015 Center of Biosciences and Biotechnology, Faculty of Engineering and Technology (Biosciences) University of Gezira Abstract Sudan is rich in medicinal plants which synthesize substances that are useful to the maintenance of health in humans and animals. Garad and Rumman were reported to have some antimicrobial activity. The aim of the present study is to investigate and analyze the phytochemical compounds and the antimicrobial activities of the two plants. The extracts of the different parts of these plants were tested against mycelial growth and spore germination, using selective media and the cup plate Inhibition zone method was used for the solvents tested. The results showed that some parts of the two plants were containing flavonoids, tannins, saponine, sterole and alkaloids. The microbial tests indicated that the Garad seeds extract was highly effective against the radial growth of P. italicum. Leaves and bark extracts were effective against A. niger. Rumman Flower and peel extracts were better against P. italicum. However they were not effective against A. niger. All Rumman part extracts were effective against P. italicum. and only the flower extract was effective against the fresh and dry weights of A. niger. The spore germination tests showed that all the extracts of Garad plant parts were effective against P. italicum. Only the Rumman peels extracts were effective against P. italicum and A. niger. The inhibition zone tests showed that the Garad leaves and pods extracts were highly effective against C. albicans, and bark extract was highly effective against C. valida. The bark and the seeds extracts were effective against C. tropicalis, while, the pods extract was more effective against Pichia sp., E. coli and S. paratyphi. However, the pods, bark and leaves extracts were highly effective against Staphylococcus sp. Rumman peels extracts were more effective against C. tropicalis and all of it's parts were effective against the three bacteria (E. coli, S. paratyphi and Staphylococcus sp.). The solvent tests showed that the methanolic pod extracts of Garad were effective against the tested fungi, as well as Pichia sp. and C. tropicalis. The leaves extracts were effective against C. albicans, and Staphylococcus sp. , while, the bark extracts were effective against C. tropicalis and C. valida. However, the seeds extracts were effective against C. albicans, C. valida, and C. tropicalis. The methanolic Rumman peels extracts were effective against the two fungi, and C. valida. The ethanolic bark, seeds and pods extracts of Garad were effective against E. coli and S. paratyphi. C. valida was the only sensitive yeast against the bark and the peel ethanolic extracts of Rumman. Peels extracts were more effective against the three tested bacteria. The bark and flower effective against E. coli. All the petroleum ether and hexane extracts of the two plants parts were not effective against all the tested organisms. Both Garad and Rumman plants were containing inhibitory compounds against different microorganisms. It could be suggested that Garad and Rumman extracts could be used for treating some skin diseases. 7 . تحليل المركبات النباتية والنشاط الميكروبي لنباتي القرض والرمان ثويبة محمد الطيب محمد الدكتوراه في العلوم والتقنية البيولوجية )أحياء دقيقة( مركز العلوم والتقنية البيولوجية- كلية الهندسة والتكنولوجيا جامعة الجزيرة ملخص الدراسة السودان غني بالنباتات التي تنتج مواد مفيدة لصحة اﻹنسان والحيوان. نباتات القرض والرمان ثبت أن بها بعض المواد المثبطة للكائنات. هدفت هذه الدراسة لبحث وتحليل المركبات الكيميائية والنشاط المضاد للميكروبات لنباتي القرض والرمان. المستخلصات المختلفة ﻷجزاء النباتين تم اختبارها ضد النمو الميسيليومي وانبات الجراثيم, باستخدام أوساط غذائية انتقائية. وتم استخدام طريقة المنطقة المثبطة ﻻختبار المذيبات المختلفة., أثبتت النتائج أن بعض أجزاء النباتين تحتوي على مركبات مثل الفﻻفونويدات, تانين, سابونين,استيرول وألكالويدات. أشارت نتائج اﻻختبارات الميكروبية إلى أن مستخلص بذور القرض كان عالي الفعالية ضد النمو القطري للفطر P.italicum . هذا وكانت مستخلصات اﻷوراق واللحاء فعالة ضد الفطر .A niger . مستخلصات أزهار وقشرة الرمان أكثر فعالية ضد الفطر P.italicum , ولكن لم تكن فعالة ضد الفطر A. niger . كل مستخلصات أجزاء نبات الرمان كانت أكثر فعالية ضد الفطر P.italicum بينما كانت مستخلصات اﻷزهار هي الوحيدة الفعالة ضد الوزن الجاف والرطب للفطر A. niger. أظهرت إختبارات إنبات الجراثيم إلى أن كل مستخلصات نبات القرض كانت فعالة ضد الفطر P.italicum . مستخلصات قشرة الرمان كانت الوحيدة اﻷكثر فعالية ضد نمو الفطرين P.italicum و A. niger . اختبارات المنطقة المثبطة أظهرت أن مستخلصات أوراق وحوافظ القرض هي اﻷكثر فعالية ضد الخميرة C. albicans و مستخلصات اللحاء كانت اﻷكثر فعالية ضد الخميرة C.valida. و مستخلصات اللحاء والبذور كانت أكثر فعالية ضد الخميرة C.tropicalis وفي حين كانت مستخلصات الحوافظ هي اﻷكثر فعالية ضد .E. coli Pichia sp و و S.paratyphi ومع ذلك كانت مستخلصات الحوافظ واللحاء واﻷوراق أكثر فعالية ضد البكتيريا Staphylococcus sp. مستخلصات قشرة الرمان كانت أكثر فعالية على الخميرة C.tropicalis, وكل أجزاء النبات فعالة ضد أنواع البكتيريا الثﻻث ) E. coli و S. paratyphi و Staphylococcus sp)(. أظهرت اختبارات المذيبات المختلفة إلى أن المستخلصات الميثانولية لحوافظ القرض كانت هي اﻷكثر فعالية ضد الفطريات المختبرة, باﻹضافة للخمائر .Pichia sp و C.tropicalis. وفي حين كانت مستخلصات اﻷوراق هي اﻷكثر فعالية ضد الخميرة C.albicans والبكتيريا Staphylococcus sp بينما كانت مستخلصات اللحاء أكثر فاعلية ضد الخميرة C.tropicalis و C.valida. مستخلصات قشرة الرمان الميثانولية كانت أكثر فعالية ضد الفطرين باﻹضافة إلى الخميرة C.valida. و كانت مستخلصات لحاء وبذور و حوافظ القرض اﻹيثانولية أكثر فعالية ضد البكتيريا E.coli والبكتيريا S.paratyphi. علما بأن الخميرة C.valida هي الوحيدة التي كانت أكثر حساسية من بين الخمائر لمستخلصات اللحاء والقشرة اﻹيثانولية لنبات الرمان. مستخلصات القشرة هي اﻷكثر فعالية ضد أنواع البكتيريا الثﻻث المختبرة, أما مستخلصات اللحاء واﻷزهار هي الفعالة ضد البكتيريا E. coli . كل مستخلصات القرض والرمان التي تم استخﻻصها بواسطة إيثر البترول والهكسان كانت غير فعالة ضد كل الكائنات الحية التي تم اختبارها. اتضح أن نباتي القرض والرمان بهما مواد مثبطة لكائنات حية دقيقة مختلفة. يمكن التوصية باستخدام مستخلصات تلك النباتات لمعالجة بعض اﻷمراض الجلدية. 8 TABLE OF CONTENTS Subject Page Dedication Iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Iv ENGLISH ABSTRACT V ARABIC ABSTRACT Vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Vii LIST OF TABLES Ix LIST OF FIGURES Xii CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW 3 2.1 INTRODUCTION

Despite the well-documented effect of pomegranate ingredients on neoplastic changes, the molecular mechanism(s) underlying this phenomenon remains elusive. Methods: For the study of pomegranate ingredients the electron-ion interaction potential (EIIP) and the average quasi valence number (AQVN) were used. These molecular descriptors can be used to describe the long-range intermolecular interactions in biological systems and can identify substances with strong electron-acceptor properties.

Box 4195, Murcia 30080, Spain, and Department of Horticultural Science, Private Bag X1, Matieland 7602, South Africa The antioxidant activity of pomegranate juices was evaluated by four different methods (ABTS, DPPH, DMPD, and FRAP) and compared to those of red wine and a green tea infusion. Commercial pomegranate juices showed an antioxidant activity (18-20 TEAC) three times higher than those of red wine and green tea (6-8 TEAC). The activity was higher in commercial juices extracted from whole pomegranates than in experimental juices obtained from the arils only (12-14 TEAC). HPLC- DAD and HPLC-MS analyses of the juices revealed that commercial juices contained the pomegranate tannin punicalagin (1500-1900 mg/L) while only traces of this compound were detected in the experimental juice obtained from arils in the laboratory. This shows that pomegranate industrial processing extracts some of the hydrolyzable tannins present in the fruit rind. This could account for the higher antioxidant activity of commercial juices compared to the experimental ones. In addition, anthocyanins, ellagic acid derivatives, and hydrolyzable tannins were detected and quantified in the pomegranate juices.

More recently, the biological activities of pomegranate, including its anti-bacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties, have raised great interests in the scientific community and they have been the subject of a large number of scientific studies. Several phenolic compounds are present in various parts of the fruit, of which ellagitannins, hydrolysable tannins considered responsible for most health benefits of pomegranate. Despite all these efforts, the actual effectors remain unidentified and the mechanisms of action only partially elucidated. This is probably due to the complex catabolic pathway of these molecules that takes place in the gastrointestinal tract, involving both microbial and cellular modifications before entering the bloodstream. The diversity of the intestinal microbiota in the human population leads to the production of different metabolites in individuals, contributing to the heterogeneity of the response to dietary pomegranate assumption.

Additionally, consumed fruit deriving from the deciduous tree of Punica L. pomegranate can be considered an adjunct for current genus, Punicaceae family (1). This fruit inherits its name from therapeutic strategies able to improve the standard treatment the Latin words ‘pomus’ and ‘granum’ (apple with grains), which efficacy and reduce side‑effects.
