| Summary: | The
antimicrobial
activities of the methanol, butanol, ethylacetate, ethanol and chloroform extracts
obtained from three different plant species of the Mongolian Gobi desert are evaluated by means of
the disc diffusion method against eight species of bacteria
.
Extracts of
Ammopiptanthus mongolicus
demonstrated antibacterial activity against three species of microorganisms. Only butanol extract of
Incarvillea potaninii
demonstrated antibacterial activity against 3-5 species of microorganisms. The
methanol and butanol extracts of
Gymnocarpos przewalskii
demonstrated antibacterial activity against
fi ve species. All extracts of three plant species did not demonstrate antibacterial activity against
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
and
Aspergillus niger
. In addition, we determined some biologically active
substances, pH, vitamin
P
, raw oil, fl avonoid, alkaloid and anthraglycoside in aboveground parts of
these plants. |
