Isolation of Fungi from Mangrove Ecosystem of Mumbai and Evaluation of their Antibacterial Potential

In the current study, fungi from mangrove ecosystem of Mumbai were isolated and their metabolites screened for antibacterial potential. Two weeks old broth mycelium extracted using chloroform methanol. Antibacterial property solvent extracts was evaluated at various concentrations (2 – 10 µg/ml) against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecium, faecalis, Klebsiella pneumonia Escherichia coli, by well diffusion method. Fungi identified as Aspergillus niger, flavus, Trichoderma harzianum, Cylindrocladium scoparium Colletotrichum wuxiense. Results revealed that isolates inhibited growth all gram-positive test bacteria, extract scoparium, wuxiense ethanolic harzianum exhibited potential gram negative organisms. Chloroform ethanol respectively, 100% inhibition The investigation endorses potent secondary metabolism to synthesise compounds.
