*Dr. Lalitha V., Dr.Kiran.B., Dr.Raveesha.K.A.
ABSTRACT
Antifungal activity of aqueous extract of leaf of Centella asiatica L.
were tested against seven test fungi and four bacterial species isolated
by following standard procedure. The extract were tested at 10 to
100% concentration . All the test fungi recorded a significant activity
in all the concentration and recorded Minimum Inhibitory
concentration(MIC) in the range of 80% to 90%. All the results were
compared with synthetic fungicides. Among the four bacterial species
tested, all the test bacteria recorded significant activity and recorded a
inhibition from 29mm to 31mm. And recorded a MIC value in the
range of 80% to 90%. The results were compared to synthetic
antibiotics.
