Abstract

Bioprospecting is a systematic and organized search for useful natural products derived from bioresources including plants, animals and microorganisms. These are potential sources of novel chemical and biological products for medicine, agriculture, and other industries. The aim of this work was to check bioprospecting of Ipomoea carnea Jacq plant. Extract of Ipomoea carnea Jacq plant was searched for novel therapeutic compounds. Its extract was used to kill the pest, weeds and unwanted plants. It also preserves soil fertility and helps in bio composting and anti-microbial agent. Ipomoea carnea plant has positive and negative effects on antimicrobial properties, crude ethanol extract elucidate prominent antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonous auroginosa and Bacillus subtilis.
