Abstract:

In the present investigation, extracts of different solvent (Benzene, Chloroform and Ether) of L. camara leaf were studied for antibacterial activity. Ten phyto-pathogenic bacteria were used in this study. In addition, results show that organic solvents and water extracts exhibited diverse change in antagonistic potential in case of similar strains of bacteria. The highest antibacterial activity revealed against Xanthomonas axonopodis, Pseudomonas syringae, Enterobacter agglomerans, Clostridium difficile and Ensifer adhaerens in case of organic solvent extracts while the water extract revealed antibacterial activity towards E. agglomerans, Corynebacterium minutissium, Acidovorax temperans and Bordetella pertussis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of four solvent extract was also analyzed and finally observed that MIC for the bacterial pathogens ranged between 0.10 to 4.0 µg/ml. The purpose of this research was to reduce the infectious bacterial growth with the help of L. camara extracts and this is the evidence that these useful extract are able to treat or control the bacterial diseases in agriculture sector.
