Phytochemical analysis of Cinnamomum zeylanicum for antibacterial activity against B.subtilis
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Based on Ethno botanical knowledge, an attempt has been made to evaluate the antibacterial properties of Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Dalchini), against medically important bacterial strain, namely Bacillus subtilis. Disc diffusion method has been used to evaluate antibacterial activity of methanol extracts. The plant extract was active against bacteria B. subtilis. Methanol extract of Cinnamomum zeylanicum gave its maximum size of zone of 25mm in case of Bacillus subtilis (0.5gm/ml). Therefore, Cinnamomum zeylanicum can be selected for further investigation to determine their therapeutic potential. For development of new pharmaceuticals this plant can be used to discover bioactive natural products.
