Screening of local herbs against Asperfillus flavus

Medicinally important plants have tremendous antimicrobial and antifungal potential, thus in this study, three local herbs commonly used in Malaysia were chosen to screen their antifungal activity. The rhizome of Alpinia galanga, and the leaves part of Cosmos caudatus, and Centella asiatica were tes...
