Abstract:
In the current study the Preliminary phytochemical analysis and antibacterial activity of leaf and leaf derived callus extracts of Passiflora caerulea were carried out in different solvent extracts.MS medium showed a better response than B5 medium and White’s medium for callus induction. The plant and callus extracts showed the presence of carbohydrates, tannins and glycosides and leaf extracts showed the presence of carbohydrates, whereas stem extracts showed the presence of carbohydrates and phlobatannins. . The methanol, chloroform, leaf extract showed an inhibition zone of 8.00 mm against B. cereus and E. coli. Methanol and hexane Callus extract showed an inhibition zone of 7.00mm against E. coli and P. aeruginosa. The presence of antibacterial property of the solvent extracts against selected microorganisms might be due to the presence of some compounds. Further phytochemical studies are required to explore compounds responsible for the activity.
