        abstract = {Azolla is a free-floating aquatic fern also known as duck weed. Azolla is a good source of protein and minerals. In the present investigation the cultivation of Azolla pinnata was carried out, the phytochemical analysis and antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extract of aerial parts of A. pinnata was also investigated. In the qualitative phytochemical tests the ethanolic extract showed the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolic compounds, proteins and carbohydrates. The other phytocompounds including tannins, flavonoids, glycosides and saponins were absent. The ethanolic extract showed antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis. The result of the current study suggested that the extract of A. pinnata possesses phytochemical compounds with significant antimicrobial activity.},
