Methanol, acetone and ethyl acetate extracts obtained from Verbascum pinnatifidum Vahl. V. antinori Boiss. et Heldr were investigated for their bioactive composition, antimicrobial antibiofilm activity. Antimicrobial activity was determined with Escherichia coli NRRL B-3704, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Proteus vulgaris 13315, Acinetobacter baumanii 19606), Bacillus subtilis 6633, Staphyl...

Background & Aim: Verbascum songaricum is a perennial herbaceous belongs to the Scrophulariaceae (snapdragon) family. Current study was done to study the environmental conditions effect on phytochemical properties of Verbascum songaricum leaves for extracting the effective materials. Experimental: This study was conducted at five range sites, including Hoze valley, Ghahiz, So...

The multiresistance of bacteria to antibiotics, as well as the lack of new antibiotics on the market encouraged the reasearch of antibacterial activity of non-antibiotic substances including plant extracts. During the previous decades, it has been proven that extracts of certain plants have a strong antibacterial activity, but their clinical use was limited due to the presence of organic solven...

In this study, heavy metal content (Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) was determined in soils and different organs of Verbascum olympicum Boiss. This species is endemic to Uludağ and spreads on destroyed areas such as: roadsides, developed building areas, ski lift stations and sheep folds. Soils and different organs (roots, stems, leaves and flowers) of plant samples were analyzed using an atomic absorpt...
