Abstract

The methanol extract of Schisandra chinensis is evaluated for their antimicrobial activity and mechanism on four common gastrointestinal bacteria. The antimicrobial activity is tested through inhibition zone, MIC and MBC. The antibacterial mechanism is studied based on the growth curve and cell membrane permeability. The results show that the Schisandra chinensis extract is against on E. coli, and increase L. bulgaricus numberand. The antibacterial mechanism about E. coli is as follow: the extract decreases the number of cell divisions in logarithmic phases and induces the voids of cell walls to increase, thus the materials in the cell to leak out. The mechanism of increase L. bulgaricus is that the extract can make logarithmic growth phase accelerated and keep cells wall intact, so let the L. bulgaricus to live long.
