چکیده
Fungal activity of the essential oil extracted from Cassia tora (Fabaceae) was studied against dermatophytic fungi like Microsporum gypseum. Study of dermatophytes in soil samples collected from Jaipur, was carried out but only 88% samples contained dermatophytic fungi. In screening of the essential oil of Cassia tora the diameter of inhibition zone was found to be 19 mm for Microsporum gypseum. Result show that a Minimum inhibitory concentration of essential oil of Cassia tora with reference to Microsporum gypseum was 0.6μl/ml. Since the plants appeared to have broad spectrum of activity against dermatophytes so it could be useful in antiseptic or disinfectant formulations.
