Antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of Prunus cerasifera cv. "Pissardii Nigra"

In this study, antioksidant and antimicrobial activities of Prunus cerasifera cv. Pissardi Nigra collected from Elaz？？ were researched. The free radical scavenging activity (DPPH), lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity and vitamin amounts of plant extracts were measured. It showed that the free radical scavenging effect from 25 μl concentration of extracts. The effect was found to dose dependently increased. In vitro medium, it was determined that in FeCI2 group, lipid peroxidation amounts increases in a large ration with respect to the control group and lipid peroxidation levels in groups which includes plant extracts and FeCI2, decreases in certain amounts. According to results of the experiment, it was determined to contain a high amount of vitamin E in the extract (50.60-57.32 ？g/g). In addition, the antimicrobial activity studies of extract were shown to inhibit to different degrees the growth on thirteen bacteria (14-22 mm), three yeast (14-18 mm) and two dermatophyte (16-18 mm).
