The present study deals with the analysis of phytochemical compounds, antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity screening from the seeds extract of Trachyspermum ammi (Ajwain). In this study, two types of extract were prepared, Methanol and ethyl acetate extract. The phytochemical compounds were analysed. The antibacterial assay for the identified bacteria was done. It was observed that the ethyl acetate extract was found to be more effective than the methanol extract. Three strains of bacteria Bacillus spp., Enterobacter spp. and Streptococcus spp. were isolated from the soil. Among these three bacteria, Enterobacter spp. shows a weak sensitive against the Ajwain compared to the other bacteria, showing a large zone of inhibition. The cytotoxic effect after treating with Ajwain shows normal liver functioning enzymes and live functioning in earthworm.
