چکیده
In this research, the occurrences of antimicrobial activity of some ferns were studied. The present paper dealt with the antimicrobial activities of some ethno-medicinally important ferns which were very common in West Mednapore District, as well as South West Bengal, against gram-positive and gramnegative bacterial pathogens. The plants were extracted with different solvents (70% ethanol, methanol and acetone) and controlled by deionized water (DW). Our experiment revealed significant results like Dryopteris, which showed remarkable antimicrobial activities among all the selected ferns.

A new Schiff base ligand (L) obtained by the condensation reaction of N-acetylaceto-otoluidineand 2-aminopropanoic acid (an amino acid), is used to synthesize four mononuclearcomplexes of [MLCl] and [ML2] types (where M = Cu(II) and Zn(II); L = Schiff base) bykeeping the metal and ligand ratio as 1:1 and 1:2 respectively. This ligand and its complexeshave been characterized on the basis of diff...
