Antimicrobial activity of centella asiatica on aspergillus niger and bacillus subtilis.

Antimicrobial activity of centella asiatica on aspergillus niger and bacillus subtilis.

Centella asiatica (C. asiatica) or known as pegaga in Malaysia is commonly eaten raw by local as it is claimed to have medicinal purposes such as for healing of wound, and kidney diseases. Furthermore, this plant is said to have antimicrobial properties. Since extraction is an important step for separation of bioactive compounds from the plant material, this study was conducted to optimise the soxhlet extraction recovery of extracts from C. asiatica and to investigate the potential of the extracts for clinical applications. C. asiatica was extracted with methanol, ethanol and water.
