ABSTRACT
The present work was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Tinospora cordifolia fruits extracts in three
different solvents against Escherichia coli, Aspergillus niger, and Candida albicans. Extracts were prepared in 70% methenol,
ethyl acetate and hot distilled water separately. Antimicrobial screenings were done through well diffusion method. Through
the experiments it was found that methanolic extract posses highest antimicrobial potential followed with ethyl acetate and
then distilled water.
Key words : Antimicrobial activity, Tinospora cordifolia, Well diffusion method.
