Abstract
In the present study, antioxidant potential (TAS), oxidant potential (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), antimicrobial activities and element content of 6 myxomycete species (Symphytocarpus amaurochaetoides Nann.-Bremek., Lindbladia tubulina Fr., Fuligo séptica (L.) FH Wigg., Stemonitis fusca Roth, Tubifera ferruginosa (Batsch) JF Gmel. and Lycogala epidendrum L. Fr. were determined. For this purpose, ethanol (EtOH), methanol (MeOH) and dichloromethane (DCM) extracts were utilized. TAS, TOS and OSI were determined with Rel Assay kits. The antimicrobial activities were tested against 9 bacteria and fungi strains with modified agar dilution method. Element content were screened with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The study findings demonstrated that the highest TAS value was observed in S. amaurochaetoides extracts. The highest TOS value was observed in T. ferruginosa extracts. The highest OSI value was determined in L. epidendrum extracts. Furthermore, myxomycete extracts were effective on microorganisms in different concentrations. Different elemental content levels were determined in myxomycete samples. In conclusion, it was determined that myxomycetes could be used as natural agents in the design of antioxidant and antimicrobial drugs. © 2020 Parlar Scientific Publications. All rights reserved.
