In this research, five species of genus Polystichum, belong to Aspidiaceae, namely, P. lonchitis, P. woronowii, P. setiferum, P. braunii and P. aculeatum, gathered from Gilan and MazandaranProvinces were anatomically studied. To distinguish anatomical character of different growing organs such as pinnules, rachis, rhizumes and roots, the cross section was prepared. Based on these researches, id...

background and objectives: the main aims of this study have been finding out the antibacterial activity and preliminary phytochemical screening of some fern species. methods: the antimicrobial activity of the methanol extracts of polypodium interjectum shivas, polystichum woronowii fomin, polystichum aculeatum (l.) roth., dryopteris affinis (lowe) fraser-jenk, athyrium filix-femina (l.) roth, a...

BACKGROUND Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is becoming a serious problem worldwide. The discovery of new and effective antimicrobials and/or resistance modulators is necessary to tackle the spread of resistance or to reverse the multi-drug resistance. We investigated the antibacterial and antibiotic-resistance modifying activities of the methanol extracts from Allanblackia gabonensis, Gladi...
