In-vitro evaluation of antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of Embelica officinalis extract on different strains on gram positive and negative bacteria

The present study was carried out to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of Emblica officinalis extract powder. assessed against gram positive negative bacteria namely E.coli, Pseudomonas fluoresces, Bacillus subtilis, S.aureus, by agar well diffusion method. Quantitative susceptibility testing method, i.e., determination minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) serial broth dilution on different bacterial strains. diameter zone inhibition (ZOI) for strains tested recorded compared with standard (Gentamicin, case bacteria). results also revealed that Amla powder can scavenge free radicals or reactive oxygen species under conditions. elimination hydrogen peroxide may be attributed phenolic compounds. total content measured Folin Ciocalteau reagent terms gallic acid equivalents (GAE) found 390.8mg/g. possible reason antibacterial might presence tannins fruits.
