TLDR
A systematic screening of 170 different West Bengal plants was carried out to find antifungal antibiotics, using Aspergillus niger and Trichophyton rubrum as test organisms, and four plant species were found to contain active antibiotic principles with strong inhibitory effects against both test organisms.Abstract:
A systematic screening of 170 different West Bengal plants was carried out to find antifungal antibiotics, usingAspergillus niger andTrichophyton rubrum as test organisms. From them, four plant species, viz.Curcuma zedoaria, C. aromatica, C. amada, and aBrassica sp. have been found to contain active antibiotic principles with strong inhibitory effects against both test organisms.read more
