Parkia speciosa known to contain various phytochemicals that can exert antimicrobial or growth-modulating effects, one out of that is anti-oxidant effects. In the present work Parkia speciosa fruit water extract was collected and added with Lactobacillus during fermentation process. Effect of Parkia speciosa fruit water extract on Lactobacillus colony growth behaviour mediated through bacterial motility was studied. It was observed that extract has significantly increased Lactobacillus colony growth behaviour and also increased bacterial motility very significantly.
