The biological properties of the metal complexes revealed that in general complexation led to enhanced activity. The Cu(II) complexes appears to be much more potent antibacterial agents that the Ni(II) complexes in vitro; the three fungi used in this research Rhodosporum sp., Saccharoymces cerevisae and Candida sp. are completely resistant to all the copper complexes. They are susceptible to at least one of the nickel complexes. E. coli and P. vulgaris are completely resistant to the nickel complexes. ER -
