Abstract
The present study investigates the quantification of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the methanolic extract of Phaseolus semierectus. The antioxidant capacity was evaluated using established in vitro assays, demonstrating significant free radical scavenging activity. Antimicrobial efficacy was tested against common pathogenic bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus (S.a), Escherichia coli (E.c), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.a), and Bacillus subtilis (B.s), employing the disc diffusion method. The extract exhibited notable inhibitory effects on all tested bacterial strains, with pronounced activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. These findings suggest that the methanolic extract of Phaseolus semierectus possesses considerable antioxidant and broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, indicating its potential application in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
Keywords
