ANTIMICROBIAL POTENTIALITY OF PETIOLE EXTRACTS OF APIUM GRAVEOLENS.L
Kiran C Nilugal*, Asif iqbal chittur, Nishaidevi, Ugandar RE
ABSTRACT In the present research, an aqueous and ethanol extracts of apium graveolens L at concentration range between 130000 μg/mL to 13 μg/mL was evaluated for antimicrobial potentiality. MIC values were determined for extracts by measuring the zone of inhibition using a disc diffusion method on direct inoculated plates of N. gonorrhoeae and C. albicans. Both extracts showed different sensitivity levels for the tested strains of microorganism and the inhibition zones ranged between 20.00+2.00 to 6.67+0.58. Among two tested strains, N. gonorrhoeae is more susceptible to extracts while compared to C. albicans and among two extracts used aqueous extract find to be more potent compared to ethanol extract as compared to the standard antibiotic used.
