Dr Linthoingambi W. , Prof. Mutum Shyamkesho Singh

Abstract :

<p><p><p><p> Three organic solvent (petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol) extracts of Equisetum hyemale (L) have been tested against ten fungal species and four bacterial species for their antimicrobial activities. Of the three extracts, petroleum ether extract showed antifungal activities against four fungal species (Aspergillus niger, Curvularia lunata, Penicillium expansum and Trichoderma viride) and methanol extracts showed antifungal activities against Drechslera oryzae only. However, all the three extracts showed significant antibacterial activities against the tested bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ).</p></p></p></p>
