Abstract:

Remusatia vivipara and Theriophonum minutum herbs belong to the family Araceae. The aim of this work was to analyze the anti-microbial assay of these two plants against the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram negative), Bacillus cereus (Gram positive), and the fungi Aspergillus niger. The leaf and tuber of Remusatia vivipara and the leaf of Theriophonum minutum were selected for the experiment. Different solvents like ethanol, methanol and acetone extract of these selected parts of plants prepared for the anti-microbial activity. The ethanolic extract of Remusatia vivipara and Theriophonum minutum species reflected maximum level of zone of inhibition(mm). The minimal inhibitory concentration exhibit least value in ethanolic extract. The species R.vivipara have more capacity to inhibit the microbes than T.minutum. The minimal bactericidal inhibitory and minimal fungicidal inhibitory showed 99.9% microbes inhibition in ethanolic extract. The ethanolic extract of both species showed best result than the methanol and acetone extract.
