Phytochemical and antimicrobial screening leaves of Laurus nobilis , It was included the separation and identification of some active constituents from the leaves of Laurus nobilis and their activities were tested against some types of gram positive, gram negative bacteria. The active constituents were separated through Soxhlet and Column Chromatography (CC) and The column was eluted using petroleum - ether-ethyl acetate at 10:1 V/V intervals to separate various terpene compounds and fatty acids of L1F1 extract from Laurel leaves, As 20 active compounds were diagnosed by a device GCMS analysis technique, an of them (Terpinen-4-ol, . Linalool, gamma.-Terpinene, Eucalyptol, Eucalyptol, alpha.-Terpinyl acetate)and separating of some free phenolic compounds. As 6 Phenolic compounds (Luteolin, Kaempferol, Kaempferol, Qurcetine, Rutin, Apigenin, P. Coumaric acid) were identified by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The active separated compounds (terpene ,fatty acids, phenolics), each according to it's separation and purification, showed a different inhibitory effect against the micro-organisms (m.o) under study by using Disc Diffusion Method.

This study aims to extract the terpene active compounds from the nodules of Ruta graveolens L. plant, using hexane solvent, and then characterize the extracted chemical components using GC-MS technology, with evaluation of the antioxidant activity of the resulting compounds. (14) terpene compounds were identified, including saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. It was observed that short-chain fatty acids appeared with a lower retention time of (L Menthyl2-methylbutyrate5-Methyl-2-(1-methylethyl) cyclohexyl2-methylbutyrate) by 2.029/min at a concentration of 19.26%, while the retention time increased with increasing carbon chain length for the compound (Trichloromethane Chloroform Freon 20 Methane, trichloro-R 20 Trichloroform CHCl3 Formyl trichloride Meth) by 64.37/min at a concentration of 17.658%. The results of the current study also showed that the hexane extract of Ruta graveolens L. plant has an antioxidant effect. The highest effect was 77.08% at a concentration of 500 micrograms/ml, which is greater than the effect of ascorbic acid, which had an effect of 71.08% at the same concentration.

This study sought to investigate the importance of the inhibitory effect of medicinal plant extracts synergistically with algae extracts against pathogenic microbes. Herein, in vitro antibacterial effects of the Mentha spicata and Cladophora glomerata extracts underwent evaluation against three bacterial strains, i.e., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. The antibacterial activity of each extract, tested alone and in combination, helped evaluate their synergistic antibacterial potential. The results revealed the M. spicata extract alone has higher antibacterial potential against all the tested bacterial strains than the C. glomerata extract. Both extracts in combination showed a higher synergistic antibacterial activity against all bacterial strains than those of the standard drugs gentamicin and ciprofloxacin. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis authenticated the presence of different bioactive compounds, including 14 species of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids in the M. spicata extract. However, eight fatty acids were in the C. glomerata extract, as well as some essential oils, hydrocarbons, and sesquiterpenoids. The potent synergistic antibacterial effects of both extracts could most likely refer to the combined activity of bioactive constituents, especially palmitic, behenic, linolenic, oleic, arachidonic, 7-hexadecenoic, hexanoic, doconexent, and tetradecanoic fatty acids.

Important findings are summarized below. The study was conducted using the system of global experiments in the split-split plots, with seeding at three levels (80, 100, and 120) kg / ha, and the third factor, planting distances at two levels (15 and 30) cm between the lines, with design of complete random sectors and with three replications; Herbicide treatment reduced all traits significantly compared to comparison treatment. Seeding rate increased broad-leaf weeds and side branches and decreased bush susceptible leaf dry weight. All traits improved at 30 cm between planting lines. Interaction achieved. In the second season, the herbicide treatment and 120 kg/ha seed rate reduced broadleaf weed dry weight. The herbicide treatment and 15-cm distance reduced all traits and seasons. In the second season, the interaction between the seed rate of 120 kg/ha and the distance of 15 cm between the planting lines reduced the dry weight of the broad-leaf weed, while the herbicide treatment and the seed rate of 80 kg/ha did the same. In the second season, broad-leaved weeds decreased in dry weight by 15 cm.

This study aims to identify the chemical composition of purslane and examine its antimicrobial activities against two types of pathogenic bacteria: Pseudomonas savastanoi, and Staphylococcus aureus. Ether petroleum extract and ethanol extract were extracted using a Soxhlet extractor. Saponification was undertaken to separate the fatty acids from the crude ether petroleum extract. Then, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to detect these fatty acids. Acid analysis was carried out to extract the free phenols from the ethanol using gas liquid chromatography (GLC). The results showed that purslane leaves are rich in fatty acids including palmitic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and stearic acids. Additionally, using HPLC, five phenols were detected in the ethanol extract of the purslane leaves including quercetin, kaempferol, gallic acid, catechin and apigenin. Using the disc diffusion technique, both active extracted compounds were found to exhibit various inhibitory effects against the studied bacteria. However, the fatty acids showed a greater inhibitory effect than the phenols on both pathogens.
