Abstract:Study’s Novelty/Excerpt
This study assesses antibacterial efficacy of Aloe vera and Aloe schweinfurthii leaf extracts against plant pathogenic bacteria, highlighting significant differences in effectiveness between aqueous and ethanolic extracts.
The findings reveal that A. schweinfurthii extracts, particularly the ethanolic form, demonstrate superior antibacterial activity compared to A. vera, with inhibition zones up to 14.06mm.
Additionally, the identification of diverse phytochemicals such as alkaloids, t… Show more
