Abstract:
The root of Hydnora africana plant may show therapeutic activities against a specific condition in traditional medicine systems. In the current research crave to compare the antimicrobial activities of roots of Hydnora africana (Sub. Family-Hydnoraceae). From the research using agar well diffusion and the broth dilution methods the antimicrobial activities of ethanolic extracts of the roots of Hydnora africana (Sub. Family-Hydnoraceae) were investigated against some microbes. From the research the root extracts exhibited the greatest antimicrobial activity of average diameters of zones of inhibition in the range of 18 mm for 0.5 ml/l concentration and 16 mm for 0.25 ml/l. The research study has shown that the root extracts each of Hydnora africana (Sub. Family-Hydnoraceae) has antimicrobial activity.
