Dataset of Leucas aspera Leaf Extract in Medicinal Uses

This dataset consists of raw images reporting the effect of antimicrobial of Leucas aspera leaf extract against bacterial cultures on nutrient agar. The two-part compilation includes photographs of treated and untreated control plates, which allows one to visually assess growth inhibition and colony morphology. It improves previously available phytochemical and pharmacological research on Leucas aspera by providing photographic data on its in-vitro effectiveness. The images can aid the scientific community - researchers could measure the zones of inhibition, optimize image-processing protocols, or train and publish machine learning models that could classify colony patterns on agar plates. Furthermore, the dataset enables optimization of extraction methods - allowing performance comparison of alternative plant-derived antimicrobials. Hence, it has great value from the educational perspective and teaching microbiological procedures and plant-based antimicrobial testing, i.e. the dataset can be used in several applications in fields of natural product pharmacology, image analysis studies, and microbiology education.本数据集包含原始图像，用以展示粗毛绣球防风（Leucas aspera）叶提取物在营养琼脂（Nutrient Agar）上对细菌培养物的抗菌效应。该数据集分为两个部分，涵盖处理组与未处理对照组平板的实拍照片，可用于直观评估细菌生长抑制情况与菌落形态。本数据集通过提供粗毛绣球防风体外抗菌活性的影像资料，完善了此前针对该植物的植物化学与药理学研究。这些图像可为科研群体提供多重助力：研究人员可借此测量抑菌圈直径、优化图像处理流程，或训练并发布可分类琼脂平板菌落模式的机器学习模型。此外，本数据集可助力提取工艺的优化，支持对不同植物源抗菌剂的性能开展对比评估。综上，本数据集在教育领域具备极高应用价值，可用于微生物学实验操作与植物源抗菌测试的教学工作，具体可应用于天然产物药理学、图像分析研究以及微生物学教育等多个领域。
