Antimicrobial screeningThe disc diffusion method was used to screen the antimicrobial activity of leaves, bark and stem of F. hispida L. Sterile 6-mm diameter paper disks were placed on the inoculated TSA agar. Each petri dish using 10 μL of DMSO were used as negative controls. Plates were incubated at 37 oC for 24-48 h and the inhibition zone diameter was measured. The tests were performed in duplicate and the results were averaged.
