Low-cost and simplified fabrication technology to deposit transparent conducting tin oxide films for solar cell applications

Abstract :

Antibacterial activities of the crude extracts of the leaves of the medicinal plants Allium cepa, Aloe vera, Cassia fistula, Lawsonia inermis, Moringa oleifera, Piper betle, Psidium guajava, Punica granatum and Tectona grandis were determined against a multi drug resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus by using disc diffusion and bioautography methods. The leaf extracts of M. oleifera, L. inermis, P. guajava, C. fistula and T. grandis showed antibacterial activities with the zone of inhibition ranging from 6 to 20 mm. TLC – Bioautography analysis indicated that the antimicrobial active compounds in M. oleifera, L. inermis and P. guajava might be similar.
