Abstract

In the recent decades, antimicrobial plants gained a great importance because of increase resistance towards antibiotics acquired by various microorganisms by the use of essential oils in both food and medicinal industries. Essential oils are the volatile substance which is normally formed as groups of cells which is found on any part of plant body. The function of essential oils is exactly not well recognized but it was believed that in this a variety of multiplex interactions has occurred enabling plants to utilize essential oils in the form of essence, flavoring agent or in medicines. Hence in our study we have been reported The essential oils of the leaves of Abutilon Indicum and Lantana camera for their antifungal activities and it was found that they will show positive response towards antifungal activity.
