Antimicrobial proteins capable of isolation from seeds of Allium show a wide range of antifungal activity and some activity against Gram-positive bacteria. DNA encoding the proteins may be isolated and incorporated into vectors. Plants transformed with this DNA may be produced. The proteins find commercial application as antifungal or antibacterial agents; transformed plants will show increased disease resistance.

Antimicrobial proteins from Allium

The present invention relates to the combination of organic acid salts with at least one active ingredient of plant origin, preferably essential oils, partially protected with vegetable fats and/or oils, which prevent these active ingredients from being digested by stomach enzymes during the digestive process. The sodium salts of short-chain acids, preferably salts of butyric, acid are preferred. The preferred essential oils are ginger, piperine, oregano, garlic, thymol, carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde and/or any combinations thereof. The combination of organic acid salts and the essential oils protected with vegetable fats and/or oils, are used as powerful promoters or stimulants for animal growth, as organic bactericides against pathogenic bacteria present in said animals and as modulators of immune response thereof.
