Abstract
The present study was aimed to investigate the antimicrobial activity of marine gastropod i.e. Purfura bufo. The antimicrobial activity was estimated in extracts of body tissues of Purfura bufo against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae, and fungi like Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium notatum. The maximum inhibition zone was observed in Klebsiella pneumonia (26 mm) and minimum in Penicillium notatum (11 mm). It is evident from the current study that significant reduction in growth of bacteria and fungi was observed with methanolic extracts.
