ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF TERMINALIA CHEBULA WITH RESPECT TO COLIFORMS: COMPARISON OF IN VITRO AND IN VIVO GROWN LEAF EXTRACT
Keywords:
Antimicrobial activity, secondary metabolites, explant, micropropagation, coliformsAbstract
The present study deals with the in-vitro micropropagation of Terminalia chebula and evaluation of antimicrobial activity against coliforms. Terminalia chebula (Combretacea) commonly known as haritaki is an important medicinal plant. Explants were cultured on woody plant medium containing various combinations of BAP and NAA for multiple shooting. Woody plant medium supplemented with IBA proved excellent for in-vitro rooting. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated by agar well diffusion method. Methanolic leaf extracts of in-vitro regenerated T.chebula exhibited higher antimicrobial activity as compared to naturally growing plants, against coliforms.
