Dual antioxidant and antibacterial potential of β-cryptoxanthin and a novel biosurfactant from Kocuria marina DAGII

Key Points

• This study shows significant antioxidant and antibacterial activity of β-cryptoxanthin.
• Key evidence indicates that this biosurfactant reduces bacterial growth by 65% in vitro.
• Analysis was conducted on extracts from Kocuria marina to evaluate their properties.
• These findings highlight the potential for developing new antibacterial agents, yet further validation is needed.
