Figure Lengend Snippet: 1 mg of either methanol or hexane extract for leaf, seed, inner root or outer root was plated against six different microorganisms ( S . aureus , B . cereus , E . coli , P . mirabilis , C . albicans or S . cerevisiae ). The mean zone of inhibition in millimeters for five biological replicates is shown with associated SEM. Vancomycin, streptomycin and/or fluconazole were used as positive controls, and solvents alone were used as negative controls.

Article Snippet: Once the solvent evaporated, discs were placed onto a media plate with a lawn of one of the following microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus , Bacillus cereus , Escherichia coli , Proteus mirabilis , Candida albicans or Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Carolina Biological Supply Company, Burlington, NC, USA).
