Antimicrobial activity of crude extract of leaves, roots, and Arial part of Rivea hypocretariformis

Abstract

Extraction of different parts (Arial Part, leaves, and roots) of the Rivea hypocretariformis by different
solvent like methanol, water, chloroform and n-Hexen and assessed in vitro antimicrobial assay by disc diffusion method.
From the observation more polar methanol extracts show more inhibition zone compares to other solvents in all parts
(Arial Part, leaves, and roots) of Rivea hypocretariformis. In the all parts of the plant, highest inhibition zone was
observed in methanol extract against each bacterial strain. Where S. aureus shows high active zone inhibition and
Aspergillus niger show less. Due to presence of major chemical components make it seems to be important for medical
purposes and plant contains Potential antibacterial components that may be useful for evolution of pharmaceutical for
the therapy of ailments. Also plant extracts can be used for the treatment of infections caused by the strains of the test
bacterial organisms.
