Anti-fungal effect of chloroform crude extract from the leaves of thottea corymbosa / Siti Zaiton Mat So 'ad, Neni Kartini Che Mohd Ramli and Aiza Harun

Bioactivities of the crude extracts from the leaves of Thottea
corymbosa were tested on Brine Shrimp Lethality and anti-fungal
activity. Three genus of fungal were tested for anti-fungul activity
i.e. Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rofsii and Pythium sp., the
pathogens of vegetables. The repeated test was done by using other
fungi i.e. Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium sp.
from the building molds. The in-vitro anti-fungal activities of Thottea
corymbosa extracts against microorganism revealed that there was
no inhibition zone occured for the three genus of fungal tested.
This revealed that there were no anti-fungal activities of crude extract
against plant pathogens. The repeated test against the building molds
revealed that only chloroform extract had a little anti-fungal activities
against Penicillium sp.
