Antibacterial and Phytotoxic Profile of Selected Pakistani Medicinal Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present research work three Pakistani medicinal plants were scrutinized for their antibacterial and phytotoxic potentials. The antibacterial and phytotoxic effects were determined for the crude methanolic extract and its subsequent solvent fractions. In case of antibacterial effect the chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions of all tested plants showed moderate antibacterial potential. All the tested plants were proved good phytotoxic at concentrations of 1000, 100 and 10 ppm. The phytotoxic effect of the tested plants was higher than antibacterial effect. In conclusion these plants can be used as good source of antibacterial and phytotoxic actions.
