Abstract

ABSTRACT:

Objective: The methanolic and ethanolic extracts of Daedalea elegans were evaluated for their phytochemical
constituents, antimicrobial and antioxidant capacities. Materials and methods: Ethanol and methanol extracts of fruit
bodies of Daedalea elegans were tested against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus,
Streptococcus pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, S. paratyphi, Enterococcus fecalis and Candida albicans. The
antibacterial and antifungal activities of the above extracts were determined by well diffusion assay. Results:
Phytochemical analysis indicated the presence of alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids in both extracts. Both extracts were
effective against E.coli, Streptococcus aureus and Candida albican. The ethanol extract showed higher zone of
inhibition than the methanol extract tested. In antioxidant properties both extracts were significantly lower than the
ascorbic acid of the DPPH and phenolic content than the total flavonoid content. Conclusion: The results indicated that
D. elegan possess antimicrobial and antioxidant potentials.
