Abstract EN
The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of different parts of J.
curcas plant against some selected human pathogens as antimicrobial agent which are known to cause diseases and to check antioxidant and phytochemicals from different plant sections of J.
curcas.
Plant extracts were analyzed by quantification of antimicrobial and phytochemical compounds.
This study reveals that 20% ethanol stem extract of J.
curcas showed maximum antibacterial activity (40 ± 0.0 mm) against Klebsiella pneumo- nia.
Water extract of root of J.
curcas also inhibited E.
coli (35.25 ± 0.35 mm).
The growth of K.
pneumonia and Agrobacterium tumifaciens were also ceased when ethanol extract of J.
curcas root applied to check their potential as antimicrobial agent.
The results also revealed that fungal species, Aspergillus niger, and Pencillium notatum noted the maximum antifungal activity in ethanol extract of flower and methanol extract of root (38.5 ± 0.7 mm) and (27.25 ± 0.35 mm) respectively.
Phytochemicals and many secondary metabolites were present in J.
curcas extracts such as alkaloids, steroids, tannins, glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, courmerin, and phenolic compounds.
It also showed the highest density of color in the different parts of plant extract of J.
curcas.
Similarly, biochemical primary metabolites were observed at maximum amount of biochemical in different parts of J.
curcas, and correlated with antimicrobial activity.
The study concluded that J.
curcas has great potential as antibacterial agent and cure various human pathogens.
