Ethanol and methanol were used for the extraction of different plant materials, since most studies have reported that organic solvents were better chemical reagents for consistent extraction of antimicrobial substances from medicinal plants.23,24 The results of the phytochemical screening revealed the presence of tannin, flavonoid and saponin in the 2 extracts of roots, barks and leaves of P. birrea. However, alkaloid was not detected in any of the plant parts. Studies conducted by various investigators have also reported the presence of both tannins, flavonoids, saponins in the alcoholic bark extracts of P. birrea. 23-29 Various pharmacological and biological studies (both in vitro and in vivo) conducted elsewhere have reported the wide ranging antimicrobial activities of these secondary metabolites produced by some ethno-medicinal plant including P. birrea....Preview Download Preview +Other Biological Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Effect of role-play method on academic achievement of biology students in selected secondary schools in Kano metropolis»An investigation into the management and utilization of biological gardens in tertiary institution in Kano state»Isolation and identification of Helminth parasites of public health importance from commercial aquaculture ponds water within Kano metropolitan»Awareness and preventive measures of HIV/AIDS among undergraduates in Isiala Ngwa south local government area»Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity of Pourpartia birrea»A study of antibacterial activity of Zea Mays and Cymbopogan Citrasus on bacteria isolated from urine of pregnant women»An analysis of the conceptual knowledge of drug abuse among biology students»Effects of some classes of insecticides Onclarias Gariepinus juveniles»Availability and utilization of laboratory resources in teaching and learning biology in Enugu north local government area of Enugu state»Isolation and identification of helminthes parasites of public health importance from commercial aquaculture ponds water within Kano metropolitan»Assessment of seed extract of pignut Jatropha Curcas for the control of beans weevil Callosobruchus Maculatus»Survey of insect pest infestation of trees in Kano zoological garden»Bacteriological quality assessment of sundried meat (Kilishi) sold in Katsina metropolis»The incidence of human immune deficiency virus (HIV) among pregnant women attending Dr. Karima hospital Gusau, Zamfara state»Welfare profile of African catfish (Clarias Garipinus) exposed to senna occidentalis leaf powder
