Abstract

Water extracts from 25 species of wild grasses were examined for their antimicrobial activities against four food spoilage bacteria, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Proteus mirabilis. The water extracts were preliminarily screened for their antimicrobial activities at 1 % (w/v). The water extracts from Reynoutria japonica (leaves), Euphorbia maculata (leaves or aerial parts), Artemisia capillaries, Potentilla fragarioides, and Oenothera biennis inhibited the growth of all the bacteria tested. The minimum inhibitory concentration was determined by the two-fold dilution method. The water extracts from E. maculata (leaves) and O.biennis showed particularly low MICs, almost equal to that of green tea.
