In order to study the antibacterial mechanism of duckweeds and provide the basis for screening anti-bacterial substances and studying the infection mechanism of plant and animal pathogens or human pathogenic microorganisms, we first extracted using solvents with different polarities four strains of duckweed belonging to Lemna minor L. zh0018, Landoltia punctata zh0224, Spirodela polyrrhiza (L.) Schleid zh0003 and zh0225. The antimicrobial activities of their were compared by Oxford Cup method and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) measurement. Meanwhile, the contents and the composition of total flavonoids were determined by spectrophotometry combined with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. The results showed that the methanol and 95% ethanol of the duckweed had different degrees of antimicrobial activities against, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and. The antimicrobial activity of the methanol from S. polyrrhiza was the strongest (MIC: 6.25 mg/ml), followed by L. minor L. ; the ethyl acetate phase had the strongest activity (MIC: 0.78 mg/ml) followed by the n-butanol phase. The methanol of L. minor L. had the highest level of total flavonoids content, 9.8% of the total, followed by the 8.1% content of the methanol of L. punctata. In addition, the ethyl acetate phase of S. polyrrhiza zh0225 methanol had the highest content of total flavonoids (22.46%) followed by the 17.2% content of the n-butanol. In HPLC measurement, the composition of flavonoids showed tremendous difference among the duckweed, with the two strains of S. polyrrhiza having similar composition with Received: 2013-11-10 Accepted: 2013-12-10 *2011BAD22B03 KSCX2-EW-J-22 Y2C5021 Supported by the Sci-tech Pillar Project of China (2011BAD22B03), the Major Projects of Knowledge Innovation Program of Chinese Academy of Sciences (KSCX2-EW-J-22), and the Western Light Talent Cultivation Program of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Y2C5021) ** Corresponding author (E-mail: hekz@cib.ac.cn)
