Anti-fungal activity of persicaria minor extracts toward malassezia and aspergillus niger
The research of natural resources to inhibit fungi has accelerated in recent years. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the essential oil of Persicaria minor and its hot water extract on antifungal susceptibility testing towards human pathogenic yeast Malassezia and filamentous fungi Aspergil...

The research of natural resources to inhibit fungi has accelerated in recent years. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the essential oil of Persicaria minor and its hot water extract on antifungal susceptibility testing towards human pathogenic yeast Malassezia and filamentous fungi Aspergillus niger. Malassezia was isolated from human scalp with the presence of dandruff and identified using macroscopic and microscopic morphology while A. niger was observed on its macroscopic morphology. The extraction yield was 0.10% and 2.0% for essential oil and hot water extract of P. minor respectively for each 100 g initially.
