In vitro Antibacterial, Antifungal and GC-MS Analysis of seeds of Mustard Brown

Abstract

In this research work, antibacterial, antifungal and GC-MS analysis was carried out. For this, seeds extract of Mustard brown was prepared from methanol and fractions with solvents n -hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and acetone; microbiologically tested againstbacteria such as Rhodococcusspp , Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli and also against fungi such as Aspergillus niger , Aspergillus flavus and Trichoderma harzianum . Methanol extract and n -hexane fraction of methanol extract exhibited maximum antimicrobial inhibition activity. Acetone and n -hexane fraction of methanol extract of plant exposed highest antifungal activity. It is concluded that plant is an opulent source of phenols that is responsible for inhibitory influences on bacteria and fungi. Whole results anticipated the plant antibacterial and antifungal potential and are valuable contender for the cure of several kinds of therapeutic illness.
