Abstract

Hexane, chloroform and aqueous ethanol extrats of calices and fruits of four especies of Lauraceae ( Licaria armeniaca, L. chrysophylla, Aniba riparia and Aniba sp) were prepared and investigated for their antibiotic activities. The hexane and chloroform extrats of both species of Aniba inhibited the growth of some of the microorganisms tested.
