Effect of Turnsoles Chrozophora tinctoria L. Extracts on Some Pathological Bacteria Types

Abstract

A laboratory experiment was performed at microbiology lab./ College of Science, Al-Anbar Univ. during 2005, to estimate the effect of ethanolic and water extracts of turnisoles stem and leaves on four endemic bacteria E.coli, S.aereus, Ps.aeroginesa and Ps.mirabilis. Treatment were distribute within factorial arrangement applied at CRD design with three replicates. Result show that 50 mg/ L × ethanolic extract × stem part was significantly superior in solubility diameters of 27.67 and 27.37 mm of E.coli and S. aerens respectively. Also, it is indicated that 50 mg/ L × ethanolic extract × leaves part significantly gave highest solubility diameters of 21.00 and 14.00 mm of Ps.aeroginesa and P. mirabilis, respectively.
