Antimicrobial activity of flavonoids from in vitro tissue culture and plant parts of two plant species of Western Rajasthan
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biological Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Extract of flavonoids from plant parts and callus tissues of Glinus lotoides (molluginaceae) and Psoralea odorata (fabaceae) were screened against microbes’ viz., Bacillus cerus, Escherchia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans adopting disc diffusion method. Results were compared with the zone of inhibition produced by commercially available standard antibiotics. Maximum activity was observed in flavonoid of callus tissue as compared to plant parts of both plant species.
