Study of Antimicrobial Activities and Preliminary Phytochemical Screening on the Seed Extracts of Linum Usitatissimum
Abstract
The present study aimed to determine in vitro antimicrobial activities and phytochemical analysis of Linum usitatissimum which is commonly used as traditional edible oil and ayurved medicine in Betul M.P.,India. Sensitivity of bacterial and fungal species against plant seed extracts were determined using Disc Diffusion method. In this method, an microorganism is placed on agar, it will not grow near the disk if it is susceptible to the chemical. The study also evaluated phytochemical compounds present in the seed Linum usitatissimum. It was revealed that extract from Linum usitatissimum seed extract showed maximum inhibition against selected bacterial isolates Streptococcus mutans i.e. 17 mm, 19mm, 12mm and 23mm, Enterococcus fecalis i.e. 13, 16 18 and 22, Escherichia coli i.e. 13, 16 17 and 19, Streptococcus aeruous i.e. 12,14,20 and 22 and pseudomonas aeruginosa i.e. 16,17,18 and 20 respectively. The preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed presence of various phytochemicals namely alkaloids, flavonoid, Quinones, tannin, terpenoid and Steroids. It was concluded that presence of large number of phytochemicals in the plant seed extracts may be associated with pharmacological properties of G. abyssinica therefore this study provide alternative to synthetic antimicrobial agents.
