Abstract
Chestnut (Casranea crenata S. et Z.) leaves and flowers were extracted with 80% methanol and then fractionated with ethylacetate, methanol and water. Their antimicrobial activities in each fraction were investigated. Methanol fraction of the chestnut leaves and flower showed strong antimicrbial activities against both of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The ethylacetate and water fraction, however, showed only weak antimicrobial activities when the antimicrobial activities were occurred. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the methanol extracts of the chestnut leaves and flowers against 5 strains of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria were at $60\;{\mu}g/disc$. The extracts of the chestnut leaves and flowers inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis at 0.5% (w/w) concentration. In order to investigate the effect of extraction methods on the B. subtilis, scanning electron microscope was used. The B. subtilis was damaged when the methanol extracts of the chestnut leves and flowers were at 500 ppm.
