| Abstract |
: |
Phytochemical investigations, Antibacerial and antifungal activity studies for leaf extracts of Sida acuta were carried out. Two common solvents i.e Chloroform and Ethanol (95%) were used successively for extraction of active principles from the dried powdered leaves. The Phytochemical tests of extracts revealed the Presence of Carbohydrates, Alkaloids, Phytosterols, Saponins and fixed Oils.The antimicrobial screening was done with two Gram +ve (Staphylococcus aureus NCIM 2079, Bacillus subtilis NCIM 2063) and two Gram –ve (E.coli NCIM 2065 Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIM 2036) bacteria and fungi (Candida albicans NCIM 3102, Aspergillus niger NCIM 1054) as test microorganisms. All the three microorganisms were markedly effected by both the extracts under study. |
