Phytochemical quantification and analysis of antimicrobial activities of Acacia nilotica from 12 different locations in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh were performed against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and B. subtilis. Our data suggests that out of all eight phytochemicals tested, bark of the plant contained variety of compounds in comparison to leaves. Out of our 12 samples, alm...

BALASUBRAMANIAN, G., UDAYASOORIAN, C. & PRABU, P. C. 2007. Effects of short-term exposure of simulated acid rain on the growth of Acacia nilotica. The response and measurable effects of simulated acid rain at different pH levels of 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.0 on Acacia nilotica seedlings grown on black and red soils were investigated for six months. A set of 10 potted seedlings in each treatment...

Polyethylene glycol (PEG 4000), Browse Plus (BP), wood ash (WA) and boiling water were evaluated as tannin deactivation methods on tannins in Acacia nilotica fruits. Twenty four Matebele goats of mean body mass, 38.7 ± 3.12 kg, were used in a digestibility and nitrogen balance trial. A completely randomized design was used, and the initial weight was used as a covariate in data analysis. The go...

The methanol leaf extracts of Acacia nilotica, Sida cordifolia, Tinospora cordifolia, Withania somnifer and Ziziphus mauritiana are ethnomedicinally important showed significant antibacterial and activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Staphylococcus aureus and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. malvacearum and antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus, Dresc...

Introduction: To assess and compare the anti-microbial effi cacy of ten herbal extracts against primary plaque colonizers. Materials and Methods: The branches of 10 plants with ethno-pharmacological background were collected and healthy leaves separated to prepare the fi ne powder. The extraction procedure was carried out by cold infusion method using ethanol. The working concentration of the e...

Antimicrobial activities of the crude ethanolic extracts of five plants were screened against multidrug resistant (MDR) strains of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Candida albicans. ATCC strains of Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus bovis, Pseudimonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Candida...

The nematicidal effect of different extracts of Acacia nilotica leaves/seeds and Gymnema sylvestre leaves were tested against Meloidogyne incognita larvae at the concentrations of 1, 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125%, up to three days. All extracts showed nematicidal mortality. Nematicidal mortality was 100% with the use of 1% concentration of leaves ethyl alcohol extract of G. sylvestre and ethyl acetate l...
