Evaluation of In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Endophytic Fungus from Anemone tomentosa

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, 23 endophytic fungus were isolated from Anemone tomentosa. The antibacterial activity of the endophytic fungi were tested and analyzed by filter paper method. The results showed that the endophytic fungi from Anemone tomentosa had broad antibiogram and strong inhibited Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria, especially the mycelia extract of root-1, the ethyl acetate and the n-BuOH extracts of root-8. So the endophytic fungi from Anemone tomentosa could be an important resource for developing antimicrobial products.
