Evaluation of Biomedical Importance of Papaya Pulp
Abstract: The present study describes the preparation of petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, and methanol extract from Carica papaya; further the extracts revealed dose dependent anti-oxidant potential. Among the extracts, ethyl acetate extract showed more percentage of scavenging than other two extracts. The screening of antimicrobial activity for three extracts revealed antimicrobial potency towards 12 test organisms. Among these extracts, petroleum ether shows more activity against 12 microbes compared with other two …

Ginger Extract Inhibits the Replication of T2 Bacteriophage by Inhibiting the Synthesis of Nucleosides
Abstract: Extracts of ginger inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses of animal cells. At concentrations of 1, 2, 4, and 6 ml of a ginger extract per 100 ml of LB broth, E. coli replication was 104.6, 117.7, 117.7, and 122.8% of the control. At concentrations of 2, 4, and 6 ml of ginger extract per 100 ml of LB broth, the yield of T2 bacteriophage decreased by 36.2, 41.8, …
