Abstract:

The micro-liquid dilution method was used to test antibacterial activities of 6-gingerol and ethanol, methanol and acetone extracts of diploid and tetraploid ginger against various species of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The MICs of the three ginger extracts and 6-gingerol against bacterial strains tested were in the range of 0.25-8 mg/ml and 128-512 μg/mg, respectively, suggesting the extracts and 6-gingerol all have a certain inhibition effect on growth of Gram-positive and Gramnegative bacteria.

Key words: ginger extracts, chromosome ploidy, 6-gingerol, MICs
