Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate in vivo multiple uses of mesquite plant, identification of selected areas in Balochistan and anti-bacterial activity of mesquite pods (alkaloid-enriched extracts). For this purpose a survey was conducted in areas where mesquite plant prevails. Pods of mesquite were collected from different trees standing at Yaro Pishin Roadside Plantation and were brought to the physiology laboratory of Centre for Advanced Studies in Vaccinology & Biotechnology (CASVAB) University of Balochistan Quetta. Pods were dried and extract was obtained which was subjected to check antibacterial activity through two different methods. The inhibition zones of bacteria were measured in mm. It was concluded that mesquite, which was once viewed as weed, its pods have antibacterial components. Furthermore, this study indicated that mesquite is a useful plant if properly managed.
