Effect of different concentrations of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of fruits pericarp Citrus paradisi and Citrus sinesis on fungus Trichophyton rubrum

Abstract

The inhibitory effect of different concentrations of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of fruits pericarp Citrus paradisi and Citrus sinesis on fungus Trichophyton rubrum was studied .it was found that the aqueous extract of pericarp of Citrus paradisi and Citrus sinesis were more effective in inhibiting growth of T. rubrum from alcoholic extract. the aqueous extract gave complete inhibition effect against the fungus T. rubrum with concentrations 15,20,25,30 mg/ml. the alcoholic extract of pericarp Citrus paradisi and Citrus sinesis on the other hand gave complete inhibition effect against the fungus at concentration 30mg/ml.
