Eethanol extract of Alhagi maurorum displayed a very weak or no antifungal activity against the tested fungi. The antibacterial activity of camelthorn was also assessed against four plant pathogenic bacteria, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Erwinia amylovolora, Pseudomonas solanacearum and Corynebacterium fascians, using agar dilution method. Hexane extracts of camelthorn showed a remarkable antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) 3000 mg/l, while ethanol extract exhibited a weak antibacterial activity. GC-MS analysis of ethanolic extract of Alhagi aurorum showed that the major compound have thirteen peaks indicating the presence of thirteen compounds.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;}, number={5}, journal={Asian Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences}, author={Ahmed, Soad M. and Housien, AMal A. and Ismail, Ahmed A. and Sabra, Farid S.}, year={2015}, month={Oct.} }
