*Swapnil R. Dudhakohar and Dr. Sheelpriya R. Walde
ABSTRACT
The present study was performed to determine the preliminary anti-microbial activity of Selaginella Bryopteris belonging to family Selaginellaceae. The antibacterial activity of the methanolic extract was done some standard bacterial strains such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. The testing was done by the agar cup plate method. Zone of Inhibition of extract was compared with standard Gentamicin. Results indicate that 50 mg/ml methanolic extracts showed the maximum inhibitory effects against E. coli (7mm).
Keywords: Selaginella Bryopteris, Antibacterial, E. coli, Zone of inhibition.
