Quantitative Photochemical Compositions and Antibacterial Activity of Tapinanthusglobifer us obtained from Five Different Host Trees

Abstract

Also, all the extracts of the T. globiferus except the one obtained from T. mantaly and A. lebbeck had some antibacterial activities against the test organisms which increased with an increase in concentrations when compared with standard antimicrobial agent (ciprofloxacin) used as positive control at P<0.05 significant level. In general,T. globiferus from T. catappa had the highest concentration of most compounds while the extracts ofT. globiferusobtained from K. senegalensis showed more antibacterial tendency than those from other host trees.
