chloroform, acetone, ethanol and water against bacterial strains like Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus
aureus, Pseudomonus aeruginosa, Escherichia.coli and fungal strains Aspergillus niger and Penicillum
chrysogenum. The antimicrobial activity was determined by disc diffusion method. Out of the four extract
used, chloroform acetone and ethanol extracts were found to be highly active against Staphylococcus
