<title><b>Screening of Phytochemicals in <i>Clitoria Ternatea</i> Flowers and their Antimicrobial Potential</b></title>
<abstract>Plants have been used to cure many ailments in traditional systems of medicine. Hence plants and their products can be validated for their therapeutic potential. The flowers of the plant  lessThan i greaterThan Clitoria ternatea  lessThan /i greaterThan was chosen for present study. The methanolic extract of the flower was subjected to phytochemical study and the presence of major phytochemicals were detected. DPPH activity for free radical scavenging action was done, by UV spectrophotometer at 517nm. Anti-microbial activity was studied against  lessThan i greaterThan E.Coli. Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus spp, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus spp  lessThan /i greaterThan and  lessThan i greaterThan Trichoderma viride. lessThan /i greaterThan  The flower extract was found to be an effective antimicrobial agent. It also exhibited anti-oxidant property. Thus the flower of  lessThan i greaterThan Clitoria ternatea lessThan /i greaterThan  was found to be of therapeutic and industrial value lessThan i greaterThan . lessThan /i greaterThan </abstract>
