The anti-fungal and anti-oxidant properties of polyphenols extracted from the resurrection plant, Myrothamnus flabellifolia

In this study the effects of M. flabellifolia polyphenols on growth of S. cerevisiae yeast strains was investigated. This study showed that M flabellifolia polyphenols inhibited growth of both the wild type and the Δhsp 12 yeast strains largely by binding protein in the growth medium. A decreased specific growth rate, reduced maximum biomass, and prolonged lag phase were observed for both strains.
