Abstract

Obtaining the plant drugs for the production of commercial products is the recent research scenario. But still, the role of a plant species in its ecosystem is not much explored. The present study intended to find antibacterial activity of Fabaceae plant species in a tropical freshwater lake against isolated indigenous bacterial species. Results revealed that the fabaceae plants Abrus precatorus, Acacia nilotica, Cajanas cajan, Cassia auriculata, Clitoria ternatia, Crotalaria vergosa, Crotia ternatia, Mimosa pudica, Pongamia pinnata, Sesbania grandiflora, Tephrosia purpuria and Vigna mungo of Vellode lake have potential antibacterial activity against indigenous bacterial isolates from soil and water samples.
