   • According to HAGGAG MW (2017)

     Excerpt Aspergillus flavus, A Niger, Alternaria alternata, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Candida albicans, & Fusarium solani by using the well diffusion method. crassipes exhibited antimicrobial activities against some bacteria: Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Lactobacillus Casei & Pseudomonas aeruginosa, & antifungal activity against six pathogenic fungi i.e.

   • According to Thamaraiselvi P (2012)

     Excerpt The aqueous, chloroform fractionates and the ethanol & ethyl acetate extracts were screened for antibacterial activity & antifungal activity against two bacteria Micrococcus luteus & Rhodospirillum rubrum & two fungi Monoscus ruber & Rhodospirillum rubrum by disk diffusion method. The extracts & fractionates of fresh E crassipes showed a significant & remarkable activity against two bacteria & two fungal species when compared to standard.

   • According to Mahalingam R (2011)

     Excerpt The antifungal properties of the leaf extracts of Pandanus odoratissimus, Cedrus deodara, Capparis Zeylanica, Mirabilis Jalapa, Eichhornia crassipes, Gaedenia jasminoides, Spermacoce hispida, Nymphaea nouchali, Melothria heterophylla, Eniscostema littorale, against Setosphaeria rostrata isolated from sugarcane fields. The antifungal assay was determined by well diffusion method.

   • According to Saraf K (2018)

     Excerpt It is one of the main problems to the water reservoir, Morna river of Akola city, but looking towards it’s medicinal value, supreme interest has been received to determine its antimicrobial potential against Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) bacteria. Eichhornia crassipes (Mart) Solms., ordinary known as water hyacinth is warm water aquatic plant & the world’s worst aquatic weed as it can grow quickly thereby closing water bodies and negatively affects the water bodies.
