Investigation of antimicrobial properties and chemical composition of different extracts of Sweet gum leaves (Liquidambar orientalis)

Different extracts of Liquidambar orientalisleaves were tested for their antimicrobial activity against eleven bacterial and one yeast strain by disc diffusion method. The antimicrobial activity was measured by disc diffusion and MIC. After that among extracts the best antimicrobial activity was detected.Volatile components of the ethanolic extracts of leaves of sweetgum analysed by GC/MS.
