EVALUATION OF ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF METHANOL EXTRACTS OF LEAVES AND AERIAL PARTS OF CORCHORUS AESTUANS LINN.
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
In the present study methanol extracts of leaves and aerial parts of the plant Corchorus aestuans L. were taken and their antibacterial potential against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria were evaluated using cup-plate method. The methanol extracts of leaves and aerial parts of the plant significantly inhibited the growth of bacteria as compared to standard bactericide (streptomycin).The study reveals that the methanol fraction of leaves and aerial parts of Corchorus aestuans L. possess significant antibacterial activity.
