Volume 5 Issue 3 2014 (July- September) IN VITRO PLANT REGENERATION AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY STUDIES ON THREE ENDEMIC SPECIES OF CEROPEGIA Plants are important sources of potentially useful structures for the development of new chemotherapeutic agents. To identify the antibacterial activity of lessThan i greaterThan Ceropegia juncea, Ceropegia candelabrum lessThan /i greaterThan var. lessThan i greaterThan candelabrum lessThan /i greaterThan and lessThan i greaterThan Ceropegia spiralis in vitro lessThan /i greaterThan plant extracts of the plant for its antibacterial activity was performed with different solvents (ethanol, aqueous and chloroform) against various human pathogens viz., lessThan i greaterThan Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pnemoniae lessThan /i greaterThan and lessThan i greaterThan Pseudomonas, lessThan /i greaterThan by agar well diffusion method lessThan i greaterThan . lessThan /i greaterThan The ethanol extract from the lessThan i greaterThan in-vitro lessThan /i greaterThan plant showed a higher inhibitory effect, a maximum zone of inhibition 1.6 cm (100µl).On the basis of these experimental results lessThan i greaterThan , in vitro lessThan /i greaterThan plants of these lessThan i greaterThan Ceropegia lessThan /i greaterThan species could be considered for further isolation and evaluation as therapeutic antimicrobial.
