| Abstract | Plants have always been eminent source of medicinal products. Screening of the aqueous seeds extract of Callistemon lanceolatus (bottle brush) revealed its broad spectrum antimicrobial potential with an inhibition zone ranging from 13 to 28 mm against various pathogenic microorganisms. While optimizing the different parameters the antimicrobial activity was better expressed at 15 % concentration, prepared by extracting the material at 60 °C for 20 min. The extract was filtered through muslin cloth and gave best results at its natural pH. Statistical optimization by Response surface methodology enhanced the antimicrobial activity up to 1.6-fold. Minimum inhibitory concentration values of the aqueous extract of seeds of C. lanceolatus against different organisms ranged from 1–5 mg/ml. The viable cell count studies indicated a bactericidal effect against most of the pathogens. The aqueous extract was found to be relatively thermostable at 100 °C. When treated for shelf life at ambient conditions and refrigeration temperature (2–8 °C), the latter only showed a 28 % loss in antimicrobial activity. The aqueous extract was found to be biosafe when evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide reagent (MTT toxicity) assay and Ames mutagenicity assay. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
