Mass spectrometric analysis of bioactive conditioned media of bacteria isolated from reptilian gut: supplementary table

Aim: To determine whether selected gut bacteria of crocodile exhibit antibacterial properties. Materials &
methods: Two bacteria isolated from Crocodylus porosus gut were used, namely: Pseudomonas aeruginosa
and Aeromonas dhakensis. Conditioned media were tested against pathogenic bacteria and metabolites
were analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results & conclusion: Antibacterial
assays revealed that conditioned media showed potent effects against pathogenic Gram-positive
and Gram-negative bacteria. LC–MS revealed identity of 210 metabolites. The abundant metabolites
were, N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine, Acetaminophen, Trans-Ferulic acid, N, N-Dimethylformamide, Pyrocatechol,
Cyclohexanone, Diphenhydramine, Melatonin, Gamma–terpinene, Cysteamine, 3-phenoxypropionic acid,
Indole-3-carbinol, Benzaldehyde, Benzocaine, 2-Aminobenzoic acid, 3-Methylindole. These findings
suggest that crocodile gut bacteria are potential source of novel bioactive molecules that can be utilized
as pre/post/antibiotics for the benefit of human health.
