EVALUATION OF PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF DIFFERENT SOLVENT EXTRACTS OF SELECTED MICROALGAE AND PLANTS AGAINST MICROBES

Abstract

The study was emphasized on evaluating the antimicrobial potential of the selected algae and medicinal plants against microbes The plantsselected in the study are Ficusreligiosa, Cynodon dactylon and Tinosporacordifolia. The microalgae selected in the study are Kappaphycusalvarezii (Red Algae) and Sargassum species (Brown Algae) .The extracts were made from the following solvents, Cow urine, Benzene, acetone, ethanolforfrom selected plants and algae. The different extracts were tested for their antimicrobial activity against microbes such asbacteria, Bacillus subtilis ,Shigella flexneri, EscherichiaColi, Enterobacter cloacae which were obtained from Microbial Type Culture collection locateIndian Institute Of Microbial Technology located in Chandigarh, India
