Figure 2:
Bar Graph of in vitro antibacterial potential of C. jacquemontii by broth dilution assay. Each bar represent % mean growth inhibition by methanolic extract against all tested bacterial strains compared to vancomycin (30 µg disc). Results were obtained from three independent experiment and displayed as mean±S.D. *p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant calculated by student t-test.
