Abstract

In this study we extract the the most important bioactive compound from Iraqi plant Tagets pltula L. (ALcadifa, Algafary) by using column chromatography, and detected on thin layer chromatography (TLC) plates in comparison with standard. Moreover, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and Ultra violet- Visible (Uv-visible) spectrometer were used to confirm the characterization of the extracted.  The antimicrobial activity of extracts was tested against six species of microorganisms: The Gram-positive bacteria; Staphylococcus aurous, and Gram-negative bacteria included; Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonia and Candida.
