Portions of an acetone-hexane (1:4) extract of Ponderosa pine sawdust were exposed to gamma and ultraviolet radiation. The three solutions, including the original, were checked for antibiotic activity on: Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus. Results indicated that each solution inhibited the growth of the bacteria.
The three solutions were separated into fractions by 'column' chromatography on silica gel, using chloroform-carbon tetrachloride (1:1) as the elutant and then 10-20-50-80% ethanol in the chloroform- carbon tetrachloride mixture and finally 100% ethanol. Ten fractions were obtained from each sample and these were each tested on the bacteria. Results indicated a number …
