Investigation of the secondary metabolome of fungi from Svalbard Island (microbial biodiversity in Svalbard Island) / Nurul Fateeha Ahmad

Eight fungi which are ElPB, ElOPB, ElLB, ElSB, E4SB, E5PB, E5PC and E6PA were isolated from a various parts of plants originated from Svalbard Island. In this study, investigation was carried out to obtain chemical profile for each of the fungi using HPLC analysis. All the fungi were cultured according to in-house protocols which are culture at microscale in 12 selected media consist of minerals and epigenetic elicitors and incubated in two different incubation times which were for three weeks and five weeks. Their cultures were then extracted and the extracts were subjected to HPLC for determination of their secondary metabolite profiles. All the fungi show significant chromatograms and each peak indicates the presence and concentration of different compound of their secondary metabolites.
