Screening Of Antimicrobial Ethanolic Extract Of Peristrophe Bicalyculata, O. E. Giwa, O. E. Seyifunmi, B. L. Adewumi, V. T. Adebote, A. O. Aladejimokun
Screening Of Antimicrobial Ethanolic Extract Of Peristrophe Bicalyculata, O. E. Giwa, O. E. Seyifunmi, B. L. Adewumi, V. T. Adebote, A. O. Aladejimokun
Ethnobotanical Leaflets
The ethanolic extract from Peritrophe bicalyculata leaves was evaluated for the presence of phytochemicals and its antimicrobial activity in vitro against selected bacteria and fungi using the antibiotic gentamycin as control. The extract showed the presence of secondary metabolites such as alkaloid, saponin, tannin and steroid. It also inhibited the growth of the tested microorganisms at different concentrations. However stronger in-vitro activity was recorded against Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger, Asperigillus clavatus and Rhizopus stolonifer. The antimicrobial activity of the plant extract is an evidence of ethnomedicinal potential of the plant.
Studies On The Antimicrobial Properties And Phytochemical Screening Of Garlic (Allium Sativum) Extracts, M. J. Olusanmi, J. E. Amadi
Studies On The Antimicrobial Properties And Phytochemical Screening Of Garlic (Allium Sativum) Extracts, M. J. Olusanmi, J. E. Amadi
Ethnobotanical Leaflets
This study evaluates the antimicrobial properties of garlic (Allium sativum) extracts on three fungi namely Aspergillus flavus, Curvularia lunata and Fusarium moniliforme using the pour plate method. A phytochemical screening of the extracts was also carried out to determine the constituents of garlic. Water, ethanol and acetone were the extractants used. Results showed that radial growth in all the three test organisms was impaired by the addition of the extracts in the culture medium used. The test organisms differed in their reaction to the different extracts but on the whole, growth inhibition increased with the concentration of each extract. Phytochemical …

In-Vitro Evaluation Of Anti-Bacterial And Anti-Fungal Activity Of Vitex Nigundo (Verbenaceae), P. B. Aswar, S. S. Khadabadi, B. S. Kuchekar, R. M. Rajurkar, S. S. Saboo, R. D. Javarkar
In-Vitro Evaluation Of Anti-Bacterial And Anti-Fungal Activity Of Vitex Nigundo (Verbenaceae), P. B. Aswar, S. S. Khadabadi, B. S. Kuchekar, R. M. Rajurkar, S. S. Saboo, R. D. Javarkar
Ethnobotanical Leaflets
Vitex negundo belongs to the family Verbenaceae. It is a large aromatic shrub distributed throughout the greater part of India up to an altitude of 1500 m in the outer Himalayas. It is widely planted as a hedge plant along the roads and between the roads. Traditionally it is having the flok claims like useful in treatment of rheumatism, insecticidal, antimicrobial, anticancer, tranquillizer, tonic, febrifuge, expectorant and diuretic properties. In the present study an attempt had been made to evaluate comparative antibacterial and antifungal principles from Vitex nigundo with some therapeutically used antibiotics. Different extracts of Vitex negundo leaves were …
