FtsZ is conserved in almost all bacteria and is an essential protein for bacterial cell division. The cell division is prevented by the inhibitors against FtsZ’s functions. Thus, FtsZ is known as an attractive, and underexploited novel antibacterial target protein. The aim of this research is searching for new antibacterial agents from 72 plants collected in Central Vietnam.

The phytochemical analysis and antibacterial and antioxidant activity of Ardisia silvestris extracts were carried out. The bioactive compounds of Ardisia silvestris leaves were extracted with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol and water by immersion and microwave method. The DPPH method was used to determine the antioxidant activity of Ardisia silvestris extracts.

Characterization results show that N-doped TiO2 samples have a broader absorption spectrum and a higher antibacterial efficiency against E. coli than pure samples. The DFT calculation suggests that nitrogen ion doping induces the formation of new states closed to the valence band leading to a narrowing of the band gap and a great improvement in photocatalytic activity in the visible light region of the doped material.

The objective of the present investigation was to isolate and identify the antimicrobial activity showing actinomycetes associated with sponges. Sponges such as Acanthella klethra, Theonella cylendrica, Helicona sp., Auletta sp., and Callyspongia sp. were collected at Sangumal, in Rameswaram island, Ramanathapuram District, Tamil Nadu, India. Isolates of 22 actinomycetes were isolated from sponges. Isolates No. 16 showed high antibacterial and antifungal activity and the isolate was identified as Streptomyces sp.

A green and simple approach has been successfully developed to synthesize chitosan/Ag nanocomposites using kumquat extract as a biological reducing agent. It indicates to be an ecofriendly and green method for the synthesis providing a cost effective and an efficient route for the chitosan/Ag nanocomposites’ synthesis. The prepared chitosan/Ag nanocomposites have been characterized by UV-vis, TEM, FTIR, and XRD. Result showed those chitosan/Ag nanocomposites have been obtained with average particle size ~15-25 nm.

Croton tonkinensis Gagnep., commonly named in Vietnamese as "Kho sam Bac Bo", is a tropical shrub native to the Northern Vietnam. Its dried leaves (Folium Tonkinensis) have been used in Vietnamese traditional medicine to treat boils, abscesses, impetigo, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, dysentery, gastric and duodenal ulcers [1, 2]. The plant is of our interest since its varied biological activities demonstrated in our various in vitro bioassays including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiplasmodial, antibacterial and antifungal.
