Abstract	Lemongrass commonly known as Cymbopogon citrates known for its lemon like aroma which carries various types for the essential oil i.e. including nerols, myrcene, citroneliol, methyl heptanone, dipentene, geraniol, limonene etc. Its compounds known for different types of anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, insecticidal, anti-septic, anti-dandruff, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, pro-apoptotic, cytotoxic properties and also have various types of phytochemical components such as phenols, flavonoids, isoquercetin, naringin, caffeic acid, phytosterol etc. Current study focused on to isolate the component of the lemongrass (Cymbopogon citrates) based on TLC separation and investigate with respect to anti-bacterial activity against E.coli. Current finding indicates effective antibacterial activity found in four components separated during TLC.
Keywords	Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), Cymbopogon citrates, anti-bacterial activity, solvent extraction, E.coli, phytochemical components, essential oil, and leukemia cells.
