Phytochemical Analysis and Antibacterial Activities of Boswellia Ovalifoliolata

Different parts of Boswellia Ovalifoliolata were collected from different localities of Udayagiri hills of Velugonda hill range, Eastern Ghats, Nellore Dt, Andhra Pradesh, India. The methanolic extracts of various parts of the plants were qualitatively screened for phytochemicals using standard procedures which revealed the presence of various important bioactive chemical entities. Antibacterial activity of the methanolic extracts of stem bark and gum were evaluated against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Gram negative bacteria Proteus vulgaris, Pseudmonas aeruginosa. The methanolic extracts of these plant parts have exhibited significant broad spectrum antibacterial activities.
