ON AFLATOXIN PRODUCING FUNGI</JournalTitle><Abstract>Anisomeles malabarica (Linn.) R.Br.is a traditional medicinal plant of Lamiaceae family, distributed throughout
India. The methanolic extracts of Anisomeles malabarica (Linn.) R.Br. were tested for Antimicrobial efficacy against the
fungal organisms. The methanolic extract of Anisomeles malabarica (Linn.) R.Br. were exhibited maximum anti fungal
activity. Hence it can be concluded that the methanolic extract of Anisomeles malabarica (Linn.) R.Br. possess a significant
Antimicrobial activity. This also stands as a scientific support for the usage of this plant for fungi toxic activities, inhibiting
the growth of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus and thus could be considered as an alternative inhibitor of the
survival of this fungus in foodstuffs, in addition to offer some protective effect to the production of aflatoxins </Abstract><Email>r.raja56@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>4</volume><issue>6</issue><year>2014</year><keyword>Anisomeles malabarica,Medicinal plant,Lamiaceae,Antimicrobial</keyword><AUTHORS>P.N.Rajarajan,K.M.
