Antimicrobial activity of endophytic fungal extracts (11-R3, 11-L2, 11-S1) / Nurul Balqis Abd Aziz

The major objective of this project is to determine the antimicrobial activity of endophytic fungal strains 11-R3, 11-L2, and 11-S 1 in three different conditions, which are solid agar, static broth and shaked broth. In order to accomplish this objective, few steps were taken accordingly. First step was growing the endophytic fungal strains on solid agar, static broth and shaked broth media. This was followed by extraction of the cultures with several solvents and apparatuses. The resulting extracts were then used in the last stage, the antimicrobial activity testing against selected bacteria and fungi by disc diffusion method. Throughout the whole stages, fungi were observed macroscopically and microscopically. The observations were recorded and shall be included into the database developed by Faculty of Pharmacy, UiTM.
