Title Curcumin-induced alteration in the glucose metabolism of Escherichia coli.

Description Escherichia coli of intestinal origin was grown in the presence of different
fractions of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.). Curcumin (the pigment of
turmeric) and the alcoholic extract of turmeric inhibited gas formation
without inhibiting the growth of the bacteria. Curcumin, which is also a
constituent of the alcoholic extract, bound iron in the medium. This
inhibited the formation of the enzyme formic hydrogenlyase which in turn
inhibited gas formation, with acid accumulation and reduced glucose
utilization.
