Nuffield Funded Research Project
This Nuffield-funded research project explored the antimicrobial properties of Garcinia indica (Kokum). It built on the preliminary work carried out by Dr Clem Maidment and Dr Anil de Sequeira for the Cell & Micro-Biology Research Group at Bath Spa University. It indicated that extracts of Kokum are sensitive against Staphylococus albus and less sensitive to Escherichia coli.
