Abstract

Inhibitory effect and medicinal properties of distilled water, Methanol, Ethanol, Acetone, Petroleum ether of Aloe vera and Moringa oliefera on different standard strains of bacteria were determined by zone of inhibition. The values of zone of inhibition was measured and compared with standard values. In the present study the crude extract of Aloe vera and Moringa oliefera showed significant zone inhibition against Bacillus sp, E.coli, Micrococcus sp, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus sp. The petroleum ether and distilled water extract of leaves showed better results than Acetone extracts against all the pathogenic bacteria. There was no activity found with methanol and ethanol extract against all the test isolates. The distilled water and petroleum ether extract of all treated plant leaves stored good inhibitory activity.
