Abstract
Crude methanolic (ME) and aqueous (WE) extracts of S. platensis were t ested on the growth of three bacteria. In Candida albicans, growth was inhibited 17.6% by WE and 7.8% by ME. In Staphylococcus aureus and La ctococcus lactis there was growth promotion by both extracts, ranging from 7.5% to 14.7%.
