An Assessment of the Phytochemical Properties and Antimicrobial Activity of Selected Tree Species
Abstract: Currently, more people are becoming aware of the value of medicinal plants also. Compared to other medications, drugs made from plants are readily available, affordable, safe, and have few to no adverse effects. In the present study, we investigate the phytochemical screening and enumerate the antimicrobial activity of the selected tree species of Sapindus emarginatus, Murraya koenigii, Mangifera indica, Sterculia fodita, and Tamaridus indica. The plant extracts were prepared by …
