PHYTOCHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS AND ANTIMICROBIAL INVESTIGATION OF THE AQUEOUS EXTRACTS OF THE GEL AND LEAF OF Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis MILLER) ON SELECTED MICROORGANISMS

Objectives: Phytochemical constitutents and antimicrobial property of the aqueous extract gel leaf on some pathogenic microorganisms. The phytochemical determined include Tannins, Saponins, Flavonoids Alkaloids. Aloe vera had its highest antibacterial activity B. subtilis (23.33±0.88) antifungal C. albicans (16.00±2.31). While substilis S. aureus (21.33±0.88) (21.00±3.22). Comparatively, extracts showed better than against microorganisms in study. activities were compared to those orthodox antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin Ketoconanzone). From results, plant (gel leaf) antibiotics, therefore, have shown ability overcome resistances amongst Results study indicates potential as a source chemotherapuetic agent that may be useful medicine.
