Abstract

Genus Diplotaxis (Brassicaceae) is represented by more than 30 species mainly distributed in the north Mediterranean. In the current study, the anti-microbial activity of Diplotaxis cespitosa methanolic extract was evaluated by determining the zone of inhibition against nine bacteria and eight fungi and yeast. Maximum zone formation was against Staphylococcus aureus (5.96 ± 0.19). Diplotaxis cespitosa was very highly active against Aspergillus flavus (6.34 ± 0.21). The FTIR analysis of Diplotaxis cespitosa proved the presence of functional group assignment Alkyl halides, Aromatic, Amide, and Alkane with Intensity 71.703 (Strong), 66.405 (Strong), 81.325 (Strong), 80.732 (Strong), 80.345 (Strong), 76.852 (Medium), 70.901 (Bending), 87.336 (Strong), 82.720 (Strong) and Peak (Wave number cm-ˡ) 1001.06, 1049.28, 1238.30, 1386.82, 1394.53, 1517.98, 1635.64, 2854.65, and 2926.01.
