Antimicrobial Activity of Cassia didymobotrya and Phlogacanthus thyrsiflorus

چکیده
The in vitro antimicrobial activity of Cassia didymobotrya and Phlogacanthus thyrsiflorus leaf extracts were studied against selected bacteria and fungi following Agar disc diffusion method. Leaves were extracted using distilled water, methanol and ethyl acetate. Three different concentrations were applied to the disc (100μg, 250μg and 500μg/disc) for each extracts. While the aqueous extracts of the selected plants leaves showed mild to moderately effective, the methanol and ethyl acetate extracts were more efficient compared to the aqueous extract. The inhibition zone diameter was seen to increase with the concentration. The results were compared with results obtained using standard antibiotics Kanamycin and Fluconazole which serve as a reference for inhibition zone diameter.

An acidic peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) produced by cell suspension cultures of Cassia didymobotrya (wild senna) was purified from culture medium collected on the 29th day. The enzyme was shown to be a glycoprotein with a pI of 3.5, a molecular mass of approx. 43 kDa by SDS/PAGE and 50 kDa by gel filtration. The N-terminal sequence was very similar to those of other plant peroxidases. The peroxidase...
