Evaluation of Anti Microbial Activity of Coriandrum sativum
Journal Title: International Journal of Scientific Research and Reviews - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
To investigate the antimicrobial activity of Ethanol, Methanol, Acetone, Chloroform, Hexane and Petroleum ether extract of Coriandrum sativum was tested against infectious disease causing bacterial pathogens such as such as E.Coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella Pneumonia fungus like Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, Candida kefyr and Candida tropicalis using the Agar Well diffusion method. The Methanol extract of Coriandrum sativum showed more activity against Staphylococcus aureus zone of diameter 12.17±0.29 and Klebsiella pneumonia zone of diameter 12.17±0.15 and the Methanol extract of Coriandrum sativum showed more activity against Candida albicans zone of diameter 14.20±0.20 and Aspergillus niger of diameter 10.10±0.10 , when compared to other solvent extracts . In the present study, both in bacteria and fungi methanol extract showed a varying degree of inhibition to the growth of tested organism than Ethanol, Acetone, Chloroform, Hexane and Petroleum ether. The results confirmed that presence of antibacterial and antifungal activity in the sundried extract of Coriandrum sativum against the human pathogenic organisms. The Methanolic extract of sun dried Coriandrum sativum showed better activity against the most tested organisms
