Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Codonopsis lanceolata Bentk et Hook on the growth of lactic acid bacteria and some harmful bacteria. Extract of C. lanceolata was obtained by hydrothermal extraction method and used intactly without concentration. To investigate the inhibitory effect on the growth of harmful bacteria, we used agar dilution method. On agar plate containing more than 25% extract, they showed decreased number of colonies.
