ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF DIFFERENT EXTRACTS OF VERBESINA ENCELIOIDES (CAV.) BENTHVINITA SINGH AND R.C. DHAKERAbstract After screening the extracts of Root and Stem part of the plant Verbesina encelioides satisfactory results were observed against tested bacteria and fungi. While in the screening of the stem part extract of the plant, Acetone extract showed good results against E. coli (A.I.-0.75), S. aureus (A.I.- 0.75) and A. flavus (A.I.-0.50). Ethanol extract exposed highest antimicrobial activity against E.coli (A.I.-1.03), and against S. aureus (A.I.- 0.60) results were also found effective. Methanol extract showed noticeable antimicrobial activity against E.coli (A.I.-0.87), S.aureus (A.I.-0.52) and A. flavus (A.I.-0.60). Hexane extract of root part extract also showed fine results against E. coli (A.I.-0.59), S. aureus (A.I.-0.50) and A. flavus (A.I.-0.71). As a result, the root part extract of the plant Verbesina encelioides (Cav.) Benth showed extensive and immense results.
