Abstract: The bacteriostatic effects of extracts from Russula and Cyclobalanopsis glauca were studied in this paper. Russula roots and Cyclobalanopsis glauca roots and nut were subjected to solvent extraction with 80% ethanol under ultrasonic assistance, and the extracts from both plants were comparatively evaluated for their bacteriostatic effects on Escherichia coli, Micrococcus lueus, Staphylococcus aureus, Aerobacter aerogenns, Karlperth yeast, Penicillium adametzi Zaleski. Results indicated that three extracts had inhibitory effects on Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus, and Karlperth yeast. Meanwhile, the inhibitory effects of these extracts on Escherichia coli and Micrococcus luteus were more obvious and exhibited a concentration-dependent manner. Minimum inhibitory concentrations against Karlperth yeast increased in the following order: Cyclobalanopsis glauca root extract < Cyclobalanopsis glauca nut extract < Russula extract. Moreover, the optimal inhibitory concentrations of these extracts were all 2.0 g/mL.

Key words: Cyclobalanopsis glauca, Russula, ultrasonic extraction, bacteriostatic effect
