  • Abstract:
  • Cyanodon dactylon is hardly perennial grass belongs to the family Poaceae and possess many pharmacological activities like antidiabetic, antioxidant, antidiarrheal, hepatoprotective, antiulcer, immunomodular, CNS (Central nervous system) depressant, antimicrobial and germicidal due to its phytochemicals. Cyanodon dactylon prevent bacterial pathogenicity without developing resistance. Cyanodon dactylon extract exhibited different degree of inhibition against selected gram positive and gram negative bacteria due to their varying polarity and solubility. Lemon (Citrus limon) is the third important species of citrus after Orange and Mandarin. Citrus canker causes severe infections such as defoliation, blemished, fruit, premature fruit drop, die - back of twigs and general debilitation of the tree. Organisms involved in the causes of citrus canker are Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Citri, Xanthomonas campestris pv. Citri, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Aurantifolli. The bacterial genus (Xanthomonas axonopodis, Xanthomonas citri) causing citrus canker which lead to heavy yield losses. In the present study, Cyanodon dactylon showed effective inhibition against biofilm formation, protease, pectinase and elastase in test bacterial isolates.
