The present study aimed to determine in vitro antimicrobial activities and phytochemical analysis of Guizotia abyssinica which is commonly used as traditional edible oil and ayurved medicine in Betul M.P.,India. Sensitivity of bacterial and fungal species against plant seed extracts were determined using Disc Diffusion method. In this method, an microorganism is placed on agar, it will not grow near the disk if it is susceptible to the chemical. The study also evaluated phytochemical compounds present in the seed G.abyssinica. It was revealed that extract from Guizotia abyssinica seed extract showed maximum inhibition against selected bacterial isolates Streptococcus mutans i.e. 10 mm, 08mm, 09mm and 08mm, Enterococcus fecalis i.e. 10mm, 08mm, 08mm and 10mm, Escherichia coli i.e. 15mm, 10mm, 08mm and 11mm, Streptococcus aeruous i.e. 10mm,10mm,10mm and 10mm and pseudomonas aeruginosa i.e. 15mm,11mm,10mm and 10mm respectively. The preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed presence of various phytochemicals namely alkaloids, flavonoid, Quinones, tannin, terpenoid and Steroids. It was concluded that presence of large number of phytochemicals in the plant seed extracts may be associated with pharmacological properties of G. abyssinica therefore this study provide alternative to synthetic antimicrobial agents.
