Antimicrobial Activities Of Different Parts Of Lemon Extract Against Pathogenic Microorganisms
ABSTRACT
The present study was carried out to find out the antimicrobial activity of ethanolic, methanolic, extract of lemon fruit parts like Juice, Leaves Stem and Roots. Antimicrobial analysis was done by using disc diffusion method against bacterial. Methanolic extract of lemon stem exhibited the minimum zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus 13mm, whereas Ethanol extract of lemon Stem extract exhibited least zone of inhibition 22mm against Staphylococcus aureus. Ethanolic extract of lemon Leaves showed maximum zone of inhibition 14mm against Staphylococcus aureus whereas Methanol extract showed least zone of inhibition 12mm. MIC value was determined by using micro test tubes dilution method. The least concentration was obtained 0.625 mg/ml for ethanolic extract on Staphylococcus aureus and 1.250 mg/ml on Escherichia coli. The MBC value also determined and phytochemical analysis showed the presence of Tannins, Flavonoids, Saponins, Steroids, Terpenoid and Phenol
