These in vitro cultures were extracted with ethanol, hexane, and chloroform, and the antipathogenic activity was determined by well-diffusion method. Hexane extract of callus showed 22 mm zone of inhibition against B. cereus, 23 mm against S. aureus, while regenerated shoots and seeds have shown 24.3 and 26 mm zones of inhibition. The ethanolic extracts of regenerated Piper shoots have shown 25 mm activity against S. aureus, 21 mm against B. cereus, and 16 mm in the case of C. albicans in comparison with standard antibiotics. Peppercorn extracts in chloroform and ethanol had shown activities against B. cereus (23.6 mm) and B. subtilis (23.5 mm). During in vitro organogenesis and morphogenesis, cells and tissues produced a comparable phytochemicals profile like mother plant. Morphogenesis is critically controlled by the application of exogenous plant-growth regulators. Such addition alters the hormonal transduction pathways, and cells under in vitro conditions regenerate tissues, which are dependant on the physiological state of cells, and finally enhance the production of secondary metabolites. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to compare the antimicrobial potential of in vitro regenerated tissues and peppercorn with standard antibiotics. In conclusion, most of the extracts showed pronounced activities against all the pathogenic microbes. This is a preliminary work, and the minimum inhibitory concentration values needs to be further explored. Regenerated tissues of P. nigrum are a good source of biologically active metabolites for antimicrobial activities, and callus culture presented itself as a good candidate for such activities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0748233713505126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,5]],"date-time":"2013-11-05T21:12:01Z","timestamp":1383685921000},"page":"500-506","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Effect of different\n                    <i>in vitro<\/i>\n                    culture extracts of black pepper (\n                    <i>Piper nigrum<\/i>\n                    L.) on toxic metabolites-producing strains"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Nisar","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bilal Haider","family":"Abbasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hina","family":"Fazal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) Laboratories Complex, Peshawar, Pakistan"},{"name":"Department of Plant Sciences, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,5]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"bibr1-0748233713505126","first-page":"7","volume":"4","author":"Abbasi BH","year":"2010","journal-title":"Journal of Medicinal Plants Research"},{"key":"bibr2-0748233713505126","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12010-013-0104-7"},{"key":"bibr3-0748233713505126","first-page":"460","volume":"29","author":"Ahmad N","year":"2012","journal-title":"Silybum marianum"},{"key":"bibr4-0748233713505126","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11240-010-9712-x"},{"key":"bibr5-0748233713505126","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0748233711407238"},{"key":"bibr6-0748233713505126","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2221-1691(12)60524-3"},{"key":"bibr7-0748233713505126","author":"Ahmad N","year":"2012","journal-title":"Toxicology and Industrial Health Epub ahead of print 24 October 2012"},{"key":"bibr8-0748233713505126","first-page":"4590","volume":"5","author":"Ahmad N","year":"2011","journal-title":"Journal of Medicinal Plants Research"},{"key":"bibr9-0748233713505126","unstructured":"Balkrishna A (1995) Ayurved Jadi Buti Rahasya. 5th ed.
