Comparing of Glutathione Ingredients of Syntrichia ruralis and Syntrichia montana (Pottiaceae) Taxa

In this study, Reduced Glutathione (GSH) and Oxidized Glutathione (GSSG) levels of Syntrichia ruralis (Hedw.) F. Weber & D. Mohr. and Syntrichia montana Nees. taxa belongs to Syntrichia type of Pottiaceae family have determined with High-performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). It has determined that GSH level is 81.90 ± 5.68 g/g, 25.28 ± 2.28 g/g and GSSG level is 13.04 ± 1.74 g/g, 5.68 ± 1.02 g/g of Syntrichia ruralis and Syntrichia montana taxa. These amounts have shown that Glutathione (GSH, GSSG) level included in Syntrichia ruralis taxon is more than Syntrichia montana taxon and both of bryophytes-leaved taxa are a good source with regard to Glutathione. It has seen that these bryophytes -leaved are antioxidant featured plants.
