Different concentrations of
Spilanthes acmella
flower head extract were evaluated for antifungal activity (0.1 to 2.0 mg). The diameter of inhibition zones ranged from 0.1 to 2.3 cm with the increase in concentration of test solution. In all the organisms, the maximum zone of inhibition was observed at 2000μg concentration. Among different fungal species, high inhibition zones were observed in
Fusarum oxysporium
(2.3 cm) and
Fusarum moniliformis
. (2.1 cm) followed by
Aspergillus niger
(2.0) and
Aspergillus paraciticus
(1.8 cm).
