Antimicrobial activity and mechanism of limonene against Staphylococcus aureus

Han, Yingjie, Chen, Wenxue, Sun, Zhichang·2021·Journal of Food Safety

Abstract

In this study, inhibitory effect of limonene on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and its antibacterial mechanism was explored, respectively. The results showed that limonene effectively inhibited bacterial growth at a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 20 ml/L. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the reduction of AKP activity and fluorescence microscope observation confirmed that limonene caused the destruction of the cell morphology and cell wall integrity of S. aureus. The reduction of MFI in fluorescein diacetate staining experiment and leakage of biological macromolecules (nucleic acids and proteins) indicated that limonene damaged the cell membrane and increased membrane permeability. Besides, the reduction of membrane potential (MP) further confirmed that the damage to membrane and the reduction of respiratory metabolic activity. Furthermore, the respiratory depression test confirmed that the pathway of limonene affecting the respiratory metabolism of S. aureus is TCA pathway, followed by EMP. In addition, the disorder of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), pyruvate kinase (PK), ATPase (T‐ATPase, Na+‐K+‐ATPase, Ca 2+‐Mg 2+‐ATPase), and ATP concentration demonstrated that limonene could result in a slowdown of metabolism and metabolic dysfunction, thus inhibiting ATP synthesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
