Antioxidant activity of areal part methanol extract was carried out by four different methods (DPPH, β-carotene, reduction power, and Iron chelation). However, the antimicrobial activity was realized by disc diffusion methods in using: Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 13311, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923, klebsela pneumoniae ATCC70060, Shigella flexheri NCCB1406, Proteus mirabilis ATCC35659, Aspergillus niger 2CA936, Aspergillus flavius NRRL3357 and Candida albicans ATCC1024. Our results exhibit high antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.
