Antimicrobial efficacy of secondary metabolites from Glomerella cingulata

Abstract: Fungi are known to produce a vast array of secondary metabolites that are gaining importance for their biotechnological applications. Early reports suggest that G. cingulata has the capability to transform many compounds by various enzymatic actions. Therefore, the focus of this study was to determine the antibacterial and antifungal activity of crude ethyl acetate extract of G. cingulata using agar cup bioassay method. Crude extract of G. cingulata exhibited remarkable antifungal activity against Rhizopus ory… Show more

“…Fungi are known to play an important role in biotechnology applications and their SMs have recently been used as effective biological pesticides [49]. Most of the antimicrobial metabolites are mainly derived from soil-borne fungi and these microorganisms are less explored [50]. Analysis of antimicrobial activity of these metabolites against pathogens can be employed as a simple and efficient screening tool and could be used to isolate potentially useful strains and to further identify their bioactive agents [51].…”

“…Fungi are recognized as prolific producers of secondary metabolites which have high therapeutic value as antibiotics, cytotoxic substances, insecticides, compounds that promote or inhibit growth, attractors and repellents, besides their biotechnological applications (Demain, 1999;Kishore et al, 2007;Mabrouk et al, 2008;Abdel-Aziz et al, 2018). Entomopathogenic fungi are classified as fungi that infect, invade and eventually kill their insects (Singkaravanit et al, 2010).…”
