A research team from the University of Basra studied two compounds with antimicrobial and antifungal activity from secondary metabolism.

The research team at the College of Science at the University of Basra, consisting of Professor Abdullah Hamoud Al-Saadoun - Department of Pathological Analysis and Prof. Adnan Issa Al-Badran and Prof. Najwa Muhammad Jamil Ali Abu Mejdad \ Department of Life Sciences obtained a patent for being able to isolate the compound
deadly poison
For the first time in Iraq and isolated for the first time on the secondary extract of the two strains Torulaspora delbrueckii and Wickerhamomyces anomalus It was registered for the first time in Iraq and included in the global gene bank under the name Torulaspora delbrueckii and Wickerhamomyces anomalus A number of techniques used in combination therapyI conducted a number of life tests on the diagnosis, such as this case against Bacterial and anti-fungal, as the compound showed different inhibitory activity against the tested pathogenic bacteria strains. It showed high antifungal activity against a number of yeasts and fungi isolated from various fungal infections. With a concentration of 0.2 g/ml, towards concentration, towards three fungal species, as well as two types of bacterial isolates. Both compounds showed an inhibitory effect against pathogenic fungal and bacterial species. The WK gave the highest inhibition diameter (35 mm) at a concentration of 200 mg/mg Candida albicans yeast and 23 mm inhibition diameter towards Escherichia coli..
