The Antimicrobial Properties of Plants [Garlic and Mint] AIM: to investigate the antimicrobial properties of garlic and mint and how effective they were. We were trying to see whether the bacteria will grow around the different plants. VARIABLES: Independent: type of plant used Dependent: the diameter in mm of clearing Confounding: room temperature‚ surrounding bacteria‚ concentration of plant solution HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that garlic will be least affected by the bacteria as it will

Antimicrobial Properties of Plants A plant with antimicrobial properties means that it destroys or inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi. Aim: our aim was to see weather or not garlic‚ mint and grass contained antimicrobial properties and if they did how effective they were we were trying to see weather the bacteria will grow around the different plants. Control Test: As a control test what we did was‚ we dipped a paper disc into the alcohol solution we used to dissolve the plants; the

Garlic biopesticides have the unique property of repelling and preventing the insects from feeding especially the sucking pests. The biopesticide is compatible with chemical insecticides and fertilizers. The garlic biopesticide not harmful to natural enemies‚ pollinators and other beneficials‚ are cheaper and compatible with other organics and chemicals. They can form an important IPM tool in sustainable and organic cultivated farming systems. (A.K.CHAKRAVARTHY) Garlic has been useful as a spice

Antimicrobial Property of Mango Twigs Extract against Dental Caries-causing Microorganisms (Streptococcus mutans‚ Streptococcus sobrinus) Jervene Venturina‚ Santiago Bataller Jr.‚ Raymark Camato Dental caries is an ecological disease in which the diet‚ the host and the microbial flora interact over a period of time in such a way as to encourage demineralisation of the tooth enamel which results to caries formation. This disease can affect both the enamel (the outer coating of the tooth) and

Chem 253 Lab 1: Acid/Base Properties of an Antimicrobial Agent 09/03/13 Purpose The purpose was to determine the acid and base properties of the antimicrobial agent sodium benzoate. Theory Sodium has mainly been used in food processing to avoid growth of bacteria and harmful microorganisms. It is commonly used to preserve foods and beverages that have an acidic pH. Rather than benzoic acid‚ sodium benzoate is used because it is generally soluble in most aqueous solutions but benzoic

Title Antimicrobial properties in different type of plants. Introduction A substance that kills or prevents the growth of microorganisms for example bacteria‚ fungi or protozoans is called an antimicrobial. This substance has 2 major roles which are to either kill microbes (microbiocidal) or prevent the growth of microbes (microbiostatic). Disinfectants are antimicrobial substances used on non-living objects outside the body. This substance included antibiotics‚ antifungals‚ antiprotozoals and
