E.coli, Pseudomonas, Staphlyococcus aureus, Bacillus cerius. According to some source of information every part of the gymnosperm plant have antibacterial properties. This is a native plant of Southern Japan including Ryukyu island. The Cycas revoluta has three layers the exterior layer is called Sarcotesta. The middle layer is called Sclerotesta and the internal layer is called Endotesta. The various parts of the the plant is extracted with distil water, petroleum ether, methanol, ethanol, chloroform. All the extraction of various layers of the plant shows the antibacterial property aginst various human pathogenic bacteria (E.coli, Pseudomonas, Staphlyococcus aureus, Bacillus cerius). The zone of inhibition obtained in the antibacterial assay ranges from 15 to 28. A comparative analysis of inhibition activity of the extracts with antibiotics like Vancomycin and Penicillin against human pathogenic bacteria was made for testing of the higher antibacterial property.
