Popis:	Antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of various extracts from plants have recently been of great interest in both pharmaceutics and food industries, because of their possible use as natural additives which emerged from a growing tendency to replace synthetic antioxidants with natural ones. Sonchus asper (L.) Hill, and Seseli diffusum (Roxb. ex Sm.) Sant. & Wagh, were selected for the evaluation of their antibacterial and antioxidant activities against different disease-causing microorganisms such as Shigella flexneri, Micrococcus sp, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. The methanolic extract of Sonchus asper demonstrated more inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus as compared to other plant extracts and pathogens where as the n-hexane extract of Sseseli diffusum exhibited highest antioxidant activity. The TLC study indicated that the n-hexane extract of Seseli diffusum resuted in more number of spots as compared to other solvents.
