Abstract:- The Methanolic extract of Citrus limetta screened against various bacterial and fungal pathogens and showed significant antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and zero or no antifungal activity against Candida albicans, Trychophyton rubrum, Microsporum and Aspergillus niger. It is seen that methanol column has maximum antibacterial activity in E. coli JH-2 (17mm) among all solvents and minimum in S. aureus (12mm) in case of peel and juice whereas in pomace methanol suspension maximum (14mm) and no antimicrobial activity seen some extracts and in seeds cold water extract had shown partial inhibition. Among all extracts Citrus limetta juice cold water has lowest MIC i.e.22.85 mg/ml in S. aureus and maximum in pomace column extract 42.42 mg/ml in E. coli but no MIC seen in seeds.
Keywords:- Antimicrobial activity, Disc diffusion method, Phytochemicals, MIC, Citrus peel, juice, pomace and seed extract. |
