Abstract

The antimicrobial activities of the crude juices ofAllium sativum, Allium cepa, Raphanus sativus have been found to be strongly active onEscherichia coli, Pseudomonas pyocyaneus, Salmonella typhi andBacillus subtilis, while the crude juices ofCapsicum frutenscens andEruca sativa were active only onEscherichia coli, Salmonella typhi andBacillus subtilis. The crude juice ofAllium kurrat was active onEscherichia coli andBacillus subtilis. The active antibacterial substances were easily isolated by different organic solvents.

Zusammenfassung

Die antimikrobiellen Aktivitäten der rohen Säfte vonAllium sativum undAllium cepa wurden als stark befunden gegenEscherichia coli, Pseudomonas pyocyaneus, Salmonella typhi undBacillus subtilis, während die rohen Säfte vonCapsicum frutescens undEruca sativa nur gegenEscherichia coli undBacillus subtilis aktiv waren. Der rohe Saft vonAllium kurrat erwies sich als aktiv gegenEscherichia coli undBacillus subtilis. Die aktiven antimikrobiellen Substanzen waren durch verschiedene organische Lösungsmittel leicht zu isolieren.
