Title | A New Type of Antimicrobial Phenolics Produced by Plant Peroxidase and Its Possible Role in the Chemical Defense Systems against Plant Pathogens ![]() | ||
Abstract | Syringaldehyde readily reacted in the horse-radish peroxidase (H R P O D) system. The ethyl acetate extract of the reaction mixture showed a marked antimicrobial activity against bac teria and fungi. A fter repeated column chromatography three potential antimicrobial com pounds were obtained from the extract. The structural elucidation of active compounds was achieved by a combination of spectroscopic techniques and chemical modification. | ||
