Deighton1 1 School of Science, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, 2 Biology, Section Microbiology, School of Applied Sciences, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia In recent years scientists worldwide have realized that the effective life span of any antimicrobial agent is limited, due to increasing development of resistance by microorganisms. Consequently, numerous studies have been conducted to find new alternative sources of antimicrobial agents, especially from plants. The aims of this project were to examine the antimicrobial properties of essential oils distilled from Australian-grown Ocimum tenuiflorum (Tulsi), to quantify the volatile components present in flower spikes, leaves and the essential oil, and to investigate the compounds responsible for any activity. Broth micro-dilution was used to determine the minimum Edited by: Yuji Morita, inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Tulsi essential oil against selected microbial pathogens.

  • To Assess the Role of Natural Pesticides Made from Tulsi
    International Journal of Applied Pharmaceutics ISSN- 0975-7058 Vol 8, Issue 2, 2016 Original Article TO ASSESS THE ROLE OF NATURAL PESTICIDES MADE FROM TULSI OCIMUM TENUIFLORUM, TURMERIC CURCUMA LONGA AND NEEM AZADIRACHTA INDICA ON CULINARY CROPS AND ITS MATURING SOIL DEEKSHA GUPTA*, SHILPA SIVADAS, KEERTHI VIKRAM, SUNEETHA V School of Bio Sciences and Technology, VIT University, Vellore 632014 Email: [email protected] Received: 10 Dec 2015, Revised and Accepted: 09 Apr 2016 ABSTRACT Objective: Our research plans on creating natural pesticides to serve the same along with keeping it sustainable, effective and healthy. Our project aims to find the effects of natural pesticides like neem, tulsi and turmeric on plants like mung bean, chickpea, methi (fenugreek) and other varieties. We also aim to provide a solution from all the other techniques that have been exhaustively implied and are being created to ensure the fulfillment for the future generations, e. g. GMO Methods: The extracts of neem, tulsi and turmeric are made by grinding and mixing it with water in 1:1 ratio and are then categorically sprayed over a range of 12 pots separated according to different types of plants namely mung, methi and channa. The growth of the plants and the soil analysis (by serial dilution) is done over the microbial growth, resistance to fungal infections and other pest infestations. Results: We came up with a positive result showing less chance of infections and decrease in the colonies of harmful bacteria and pathogens with the help of serially diluting the soil sample under the effect of natural pesticides and pore plating it on the media.

  • Holy Basil Ocimum Tenuiflorum
    Did You Know? Holy Basil Ocimum tenuiflorum • Additional common names include tulsi, tulasi, and sacred basil. • In its native India, holy basil is particularly sacred herb in the Hindu tradition where it is thought to be the manifestation of the goddess, Tulasi, and to have grown from her ashes. • In one version of the legend, Tulasi was tricked into betraying her husband when she was seduced by the god Vishnu in the guise of her husband. In her torment, Tulasi killed herself, and Vishnu declared that she would be “worshipped by women for her faithfulness” and would keep women from becoming widows. • Holy basil, also referred to as tulsi basil in reference to the goddess Tulasi, became the symbol of love, eternal life, purification and protection. • Holy basil has also played a role in burial rituals, including scattering the leaves on graves as well as growing the plant on graves. • There are a few species and varieties referred to as holy basil and all are in the same genus as common garden basil. • Like other basils, holy basil is a member of the mint family (Lamiaceae). • Historical medicinal uses include treatment of colds and flu due to its antiviral, antibacterial, decongestant and diaphoretic properties. In India, it is used in a tea to clear congestion. • Other medicinal uses are said to include immune strengthening and balancing, balancing blood sugar, stimulating appetite, soothing digestion and relieving insect stings. ©2016 by The Herb Society of America www.herbsociety.org 440-256-0514 9019 Kirtland Chardon Road, Kirtland, OH 44094.
