BIOTECHNOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF FUNGI ISOLATED FROM ACIGÖL/TURKEY

Haloalkalitolerant fungi can survive in environments with high salt concentrations and pH values. The bioactive compounds produced under stressful conditions have potential biotechnological applications. In this study, 52 microfungi isolated from Acıgöl Lake Türkiye, offering polyextreme conditions, were screened for some properties. antimicrobial antioxidant activities of the isolates determined using agar diffusion 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging methods, respectively. Enzyme by various methods technique. Synthesis silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was carried out cell-free filtrate microfungi. 40% showed activity against at least one Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus 29213 Candida albicans 90028 used as test microorganisms. Penicillium dipodomyicola highest antibacterial E. S. aureus, while P. brevicompactum C. albicans. bilaiae found to free a level (90% above) that compete positive control. All amylase belonged Aspergillus most prominent three them A. ochraceous, flavus brevicompactum. 55% proteolytic activity, among which alliaceus had activity. Almost all (92%) lipolytic amstelodami, sizovae solitum significant 35% cellulolytic values Cladosporium pseudocladosporioides, bilaiae. Eight AgNP synthesis within 24 h. When results evaluated, ochraceus, dipodomyicola, appeared serve different industrial areas.
