Phyto-Chemical Screening and Evaluation of Anti-Bacterial Activity of Ziziphus Rotundifolia Root Extract

Chauhan A and Kumar A

The powdered root material of Ziziphus rotundifolia was extracted with three different solvents i.e. Petroleum Ether, Chloroform and Methanol. The extract was then dried and subjected to phyto-chemical screening that showed the presence of alkaloid, steroid, terpene, glycoside and saponin in different solvent extracts. The extract was then used to explore the anti bacterial activity and it was found to be effective against Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
