orocco is a country known for its botanical biodiversity
that represents infinity of natural resources used
by the pharmaceutical industry. Our study focuses on the
antimicrobial activity against four bacterial strains and one
yeast pathogenic to humans. In the continuity of our subject,
we also study the possibility of using these substances as a
bio-antifungal against phytophagous fungi that ravage the
agriculture of legumes in the Casablanca - Settat axis. Our
choice is focused on the
Mesembryanthemum crystallinum
plant belonging to the family of
Azioacea
which populates
the Tunisian and Moroccan sides known for its traditional
medicinal virtues. Different concentrations of extract
were tested. Organic extracts from Mesembryanthemum
crystallinum exhibit significant antimicrobial activity
confirmed by the two standard micro-dilution and discs
methods. This activity is tested on several different Gram
bacterial strains, yeasts and phytophagous fungus of
Moroccan agriculture.
