Özet

The present study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activities of methanol extracts of white and black coloured peel taproots of two radish types belonging to Raphanus sativus L. The antibacterial activities of the extracts were tested against 100 laboratory strains belonging to 52 bacteria species by using disc diffusion assay. The results showed that methanol extract in taproots of both black and white radishes had antibacterial activity against Arthrobacter atrocyaneus, Corynebacterium ammoniagenes, Enterobacter hormaechei, Kocuria rosea, Neisseria subflava, Pantoea agglomerans, Proteus vulgaris, Psychrobacter immobilis and Shigella dysenteriae. White radish type showed antibacterial activity against Bacillus sphaericus and Corynebacterium flavescens as well. Based on results, it is possible to conclude that white radish has a stronger and broader spectrum of antibacterial activity as compared to black radish.
