| Article Name : | | | PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF DIFFERENT CRUDE EXTRACTS OF Wedelia biflora | | Author Name : | | | Gowri J , Arockia sahayaraj P and Dharmalingam V | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-5034 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | A Study was under taken to investigate the qualitative phytochemicals and antimicrobial properties of different solvent crude extracts of Wedelia biflora against various bacterial and fungal pathogens. The phytochemical analysis carried out revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, saponins, flavanoids, carbohydrates, terpenoids and glycosides were tested. The antimicrobial activity of crude extracts (hexane , chloroform , ethyl acetate, methanol and aqueous ) of medicinal plant were evaluated using agar well diffusion method against Bacillus Stubtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus , Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenum and Candida albicans .The plant extracts showed different diameters zone of inhibition ranging from 10 to 35mm. Chloroform and methanol extracts of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa displaying strong antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis. The results provide justification for the use of the medicinal plant to treat various oral infections. | | Keywords : | | - catering and entertainment,julient deliquency,
