Phytochemical analysis and In-vitro Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Fungal Activity of Verbascum arianthum (Benth)

Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles using Polygonatum geminiflorum efficiently control fusarium wilt disease of tomato

“…However, the AgNPs (50 μg/ml) showed pronounced antifungal activity because no symptoms of leaf yellowing (chlorosis) was observed throughout the experiment. The obtained results of in vitro and in planta experiments are in general agreement and much promising when correlated with the previously reported studies on antimicrobial activities of silver nanoparticles ( Jo et al, 2009 ; Ali et al, 2015 ; Gopinath et al, 2017 ; Some et al, 2018 ; Alam et al, 2019 ; Haroon et al, 2019 ; Santiago et al, 2019 ; Vanti et al, 2019 ; Renuka et al, 2020 ; Rizwan et al, 2020 ; Tariq et al, 2021 ). The green AgNPs in the presence of plant capping agents did not allow particles to aggregate and increases its long-term stability ( Spagnoletti et al, 2021 ).…”

Verbascum Thapsus (Mullein) Versatile Polarity Extracts: GC-MS Analysis, Phytochemical Profiling, Anti-bacterial Potential and Anti-oxidant Activity

“…Well plate method and Kirby's disc diffusion method indicated maximum antimicrobial activity of ethanol, methanol, and acetone extracts of V. thapsus (Figure 5). Our results support previous findings 18,20,21 where ethanolic and methanolic extracts performed better in antibacterial action as compared to aqueous extracts. One way ANOVA results indicate a significant difference (p-value: <0.05) in the antibacterial activity of Verbascum extracts (Figure 6).…”

“…Plants use metabolites for their defence against pathogenic microbes using various strategies. These metabolites contribute to the intervention of microbe invasion and repel herbivores from potential harm they may pose to plant survival and activity 17,18 . Furthermore, new antibiotics are demanded worldwide to answer the question arise by antibiotic resistant variants 3,19…”

“…Studies report prominent antimicrobial action of V. thapsus extracts against S. epidermidis, S. aureus, K. pneumonia, and E coli strains 18 . The present study explored the promising antibacterial activity of V. thapsus against L. lactis, E. coli, and K. oxytoca.…”

“…Our results not only validate the research findings of the antibacterial properties of V. Thapsus 22 but also coincide with the other Verbascum species i.e., Verbascum macrurum 23 . It is therefore indicated that significant antimicrobial potential in Verbascum species ranks them high as medicinal plants 18,24 .…”
