In the present study, 1 g/ml each of Barleria prionitis leaves (BPL) and B. prionitis stem (BPS) were extracted from different solvents like petroleum ether, chloroform ethyl acetate and methanol. Ethyl acetate extract of BPL showed maximum inhibition zone on Gram positive Bacillus pumilus (9.83 mm) and methanol extract of BPS showed minimum inhibition zone on Gram negative Escherichia coli (0.16 mm). Petroleum ether extract did not show inhibition except petroleum ether extract of BPS on Gram positive B. pumilus (0.46 mm). Minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) was shown by petroleum ether extract of BPL on Gram positive B. pumilus and Gram negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1.0 mg/ml). Leaves and stem extract of Barleria prionitis L. showed difference in antibacterial activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
