S. Megala, R. Elango

Abstract :

The present study deals with the antifungal activity of Acetone, Dichloromethane, methanol extracts of the tubers and seeds of Gloriosa superba L. (Liliaceae) using disc diffusion method against human pathogens, such as Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Candida glaata. In the present investigation all the extracts were found to be effective against five human fungal species. The maximum inhibition was observed on Aspergillus flavus (16.50 mm) methanol extract for seed and followed by Candida glaata in methanol seed extract (16.50 mm).
