Bioactivity of Air Contaminant Bacteria Against Curvularia Species
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antifungal activity of air contaminant bacterial isolate was evaluated against Curvularia specie at different pH and temperature. The bacterial isolate was found to be active at 7.0 pH and 30°C and preferred inulin and starch as carbon source. The inhibitory antifungal compound was eluted in water and methanol that exhibited good activity as compared to other solvents. The methanol extracts of two antibiotics namely Clotrimazole and amphotericin for which Curvularia sp. was found to be sensitive, showed inhibitory zone against this fungi. This preliminary observations indicated the possibility of synthesis and production of such type of antifungal compound by the bacterial isolate.

The in vitro antifungal susceptibility of a set of 99 clinical isolates of Curvularia was tested against 9 drugs using a reference microdilution method. The isolates had been identified previously to species level by comparing their ITS rDNA and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene sequences with those of reference strains. We were able to reliably identify 73.2% of the isolates, the m...
