| Summary: | Linaria simplex DC., is an annual or hardy plant wide represented in Algeria. Tested for their antioxidant
and antimicrobial activities. Antioxidant properties were evaluated through the ability of the extract to scavenge
DPPH radicals and the reducing power essay, however, the antimicrobial activity was tested with four bacterial strain
and three fungi including yeast (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Bacillus subtilis
ATCC6633, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 13311, Aspergillus niger 2CA936, Aspergillus flavius NRRL3357 and
Candida albicans ATCC1024). The obtained results show a weak antioxidant activity but an excellent antifungal
power against Aspergillus flavius.
