PHYTOCHEMICAL, ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF DIFFERENT EXTRACT OF DALBERGIA SISSOO LEAVES

Abstract

Traditional system of medicine consists of a greater number of plants with different medicinal and pharmacological benefits and hence represents a
valuable tank of new bioactive molecules. In the present investigation, Dalbergia sissoo plants were collected from kada, District Beed, which is used
widely as traditional medicine in the treatment. The study was carried out to evaluate the phytochemical and potential antimicrobial activity against five
types of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and megaterium) and two fungi
(Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus) of five extracts. To assess the antimicrobial activity of five extracts by using Cylinder plate or cup plate
method. The obtained results showed a potential effect as maximum zone of inhibition was 8 mm, 7mm and 6 mm in aqueous, ethanol and acetone
extract respectively.
