Abstract

Mentha arvensis is an essential aromatic, energizer restorative, and medicinal plant in the mint family Lamiaceae. Mentha arvensis is found in rugged areas or cold climates of India. Herein, we studied the presence of different dynamic metabolites like- Flavonoids, Saponins, Tannins, terpenoids, steroids, Carb, anthraquinones, Heart glycosides, and alkaloid. In the given study, the phytochemical and antimicrobial action of leaves concentrates on pudina (Mentha arvensis L.). The broth dilution method has been used to check the antimicrobial activity of Mentha arvensis. In vitro antimicrobial movement was studied against pathogenic microbes such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus Pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus clavatus by agar well dispersion method. When used on bacterial colonies and fungal colonies, the separated extract showed the maximum zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus Pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus clavatus over the control. The maximum zone of inhibition was found in Methanolic extracts against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus clavatus over the control. Thus, the present approach can be useful to find new bioactive segments to improve new drugs. Our findings showed that the Mentha arvensis plant gives 25- 100 MIC (ug/ml) to inhibit the growth of the mentioned microorganisms. Thus, it can be used as a strong antimicrobial agent against pathogens, mainly Aspergillus Clavatus.
