The plant Aloe vera (aloe barbadensis) leaves were collected from Vimtim area of Mubi North LGA. These plants will be botanically authenticated in the Department of Botany, Adamawa State University Mubi. The leaves were shade dried and used for the extraction. The plant Aloe vera (aloe barbadensis) leaves were collected from Vimtim area of Mubi North LGA. These plants will be botanically authenticated in the Department of Botany, Adamawa State University Mubi. The leaves were shade dried and used for the extraction. The leaf juice is obtained by grinding or macerating the entire Aloe vera (aloe barbadensis) leaf followed by purification to remove the phenolic compound found in the latex. A standard sample of Aloe vera (aloe barbadensis) gel was extracted by a simple drain procedure where leaves of Aloe were cut at about half an inch from the base so as to drain out all the yellow sap material. The sap flows freely with the presence of epidermal cells and all other cellular structures above it. The Nutrient Agar was prepared according to the manufacturer's guide. The prepared media will be sterilized by autoclave at 121°C. All glasswares was sterilized by autoclaving at 121°C. SDA– Soubraud dextrose Agar for the culturing of fungi. Table 1 shows that the petroleum ether extract has shown a high zone of inhibition in Escherichia coli, S.aureus, the fungi Aspergillus niger and a moderate zone for Staphylococcus aureus, and A. niger....Preview Download Preview +Other Biological Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Effect of role-play method on academic achievement of biology students in selected secondary schools in Kano metropolis»An investigation into the management and utilization of biological gardens in tertiary institution in Kano state»Isolation and identification of Helminth parasites of public health importance from commercial aquaculture ponds water within Kano metropolitan»Awareness and preventive measures of HIV/AIDS among undergraduates in Isiala Ngwa south local government area»Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity of Pourpartia birrea»A study of antibacterial activity of Zea Mays and Cymbopogan Citrasus on bacteria isolated from urine of pregnant women»Effects of some classes of insecticides Onclarias Gariepinus juveniles»An analysis of the conceptual knowledge of drug abuse among biology students»Availability and utilization of laboratory resources in teaching and learning biology in Enugu north local government area of Enugu state»Isolation and identification of helminthes parasites of public health importance from commercial aquaculture ponds water within Kano metropolitan»Assessment of seed extract of pignut Jatropha Curcas for the control of beans weevil Callosobruchus Maculatus»Survey of insect pest infestation of trees in Kano zoological garden»Bacteriological quality assessment of sundried meat (Kilishi) sold in Katsina metropolis»The incidence of human immune deficiency virus (HIV) among pregnant women attending Dr. Karima hospital Gusau, Zamfara state»Welfare profile of African catfish (Clarias Garipinus) exposed to senna occidentalis leaf powder
