Abstract

Helicteres isora, Cichcory intybus and Litsea chinensis species samples of leaf and stem were collected from Haldwani Distt (Nainital). Samples were chopped, shed dried and grinded in electronic grinder. After grinding crude extracts were extracted using different solvents viz., Methanol, Chloroform and Acetone. The solvents were evaporated after filtering with whatman filter paper. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated against bacterial strains (E. coli, Pseudomonas, S. aureus and Bacillus subtillis) antifungal strains (Aspergillus fumigatous, Aspergillus awamori, Rhizopus oryzae, Tricoderma viridae and Culmularia oryzae) by using disc diffusion method.
