ANTIBACTERIAL, ANTIFUNGAL AND ANTICANCER ACTIVITIES OF MULTI STRESS AFFECTED Allium sativum PLANT EXTRACT | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

 The purpose of this study is to assess the antibacterial, antifungal, anti-cancerous, and multi-stress activities of Allium sativum medicinal plant extract. The garlic was bought fresh at the local market. To obtain the edible part of the garlic clove, fresh bulb garlic cloves were separated, peeled, and washed with tap water before being sterilised with distilled water. This material was dried at room temperature (24°C) in the shade. For each garlic, three types of extracts were made using three organic solvents: ethanol, n-haxene, and water. On Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas, Aeromonas hydrophila, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavous, and Rhizopus stolonifer, the antibacterial and antifungal activity of ethanolic, n-haxene, and aqueous garlic extract was determined. The antibacterial and antifungal activities clearly showed that the aqueous extract had no inhibitory effect on the test microorganisms. Ethanolic extracts of antibacterial activity of Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas, and Aeromonas hydrophila revealed zones of inhibition of 9.25 mm, 9.51 mm, 9.5 mm, and 9.5 mm, respectively, whereas the positive control showed zones of inhibition of 7 mm and 9.25 mm in the case of Pseudomonas and Aeromonas hydrophila. The antibacterial activity of n-hexane extracts of E. coli, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas, and Aeromonas hydrophila showed inhibition zones of 6.15 mm, 6.02 mm, 7.90 mm, and 5.965 mm, respectively, whereas the positive control showed an inhibition zone of 0.00 mm. Antifungal activity of ethanolic extracts was highest in Aspergillus flavous at 18 mm of the inhibition zone. The antifungal activity of n-haxene extracts was highest in Aspergillus flavous, with an area of inhibition of 18mm.

SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF FRUIT, SEEDS AND LEAVES AS ANTIOXIDANTS: A REVIEW | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

 


Fruits and other herbal plants are a rich source of antioxidants as they contains abundant amount of bio active compounds like phenols and flavonoids. Present review concentrates on the combined or synergistic effect of bio-active compounds which is present in these fruits and herbal plants. There are several researchers who have observed that the combined mixtures of various fruit extracts as well as mixtures of herbs increase the antioxidant activity and also help to achieve desirable results. The high antioxidant activity due to the synergism of different fruits and herbs is applicable to reduce the oxidative stress as well as to prevent disease like cancer, cardiac disorders and as an anti proliferative agent. The antioxidants that are obtained from natural sources are far better to consume than that of synthetic antioxidants (butylated hydroxytoluene) as they have side effects on our health and are too expensive. This review is helpful to understand the significance of synergism in different plants and fruits due to the presence of different essential bioactive compounds in them.
