Biological activities of Ethanolic Extract Produced by Cucurbita pepo plant.

Antibacterial and antioxidant effects of alcoholic extract for the Cucurbita pepo plant were studied. Properties optical (UV-visible spectrophotometer ) morphological surface(scanning electron microscopy detection was done, antibacterial activity investigated against pathogenic microbes (E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus). Results showed highest effect crud in growth E.coli by zone inhibition diameter reached (16.33±0.58 ), followed Staph. Aureus (12.33±2.30mm). The results indicate that C. can be considered a valuable source effective agents at 0.8 µg/ml concentration. Keywords. plant: Alcoholic extract: Antioxidant: Activity
