Antibacterial Activity of Endophytic Fungi Isolated from Medicinal Plants: Ocimum Gratissimum and Jatropha Tanjorensis
Juliana Okwena Pondei
Abstract:Endophytes are gaining worldwide recognition because of their potential use in biotechnology and as sources of novel bioactive compounds. A total of 27 fungal endophytes were isolated from the root, stem and leaves of two medicinal plants: Ocimum gratissimum (13) and Jatropha tanjorensis (14). Occurrence of endophyte species of the plants were Alternaria alternata and Aspergillus flavus (22.22% each), Nigrosa oryzae and Penicillium chryseogenum (14.81% each) and Penicillium oxalicum (11.11%). Cladosporium spha… Show more
