Antimicrobial activity of marine fungi isolated from the Son Tra peninsula, Da Nang, Vietnam

Abstract: Marine fungi have become an important source of bioactive natural products. The present study was concerned with the screening of antimicrobial activity from 73 fungal strains isolated from various marine habitats collected from five different localities at the Son Tra Peninsula, Da Nang, Vietnam. For the first step of screening, ethyl acetate extract of each fungal isolate was prepared and their antimicrobial activity against the human microbial pathogens was investigated using the disc diffusion method.

“…Differences in the ability of marine fungi to inhibit the growth of microbes may be reasoned by sensitivity to antimicrobial compounds contained in extracts. faecalis, L. monocytogenes, S. aureus, E. coli, C. albicans, and P. aeruginosa were 42, 33, 31, 22, 7, 5, and 3%, respectively [12]. Moreover, marine fungal strains isolated from sediments in Co To island -Quang Ninh Province also exhibited great antimicrobial activity against reference pathogens [13].…”

“…VK12 was isolated from marine sponge collected from the Quang Nam sea and yielded compounds (3R)-(3,5-dihydroxy phenyl)butan-2-one and AGI-7 showed cytotoxicity toward HepG2, MCF-7, and SKMel2 carcinoma cells [11]. Due to the increasing demand for new antibiotics mechanism of action, antibacterial activity is one of the looks of the properties of marine fungi [12,13]. Besides, recent studies have confirmed marine fungi are a valuable source of antioxidant compounds with potent biological activity and various structural features, promising sources of novel bioactive compounds [14,15].…”

“…2 New developments in discovery of drugs from natural sources highlight on exploration of the marine environment to discover various novel and complex secondary metabolites for management of several diseases such as inflammatory condition, AIDS, cancer, malaria, fungal and viral diseases. 3 Fungi produce a diversity of molecules with unique structures and display innumerable biological activities [4][5][6] including anticancer, antiinflammatory, antiviral and antimicrobial. Since the past era, the number of antifungal and antibacterial metabolites from marine fungi have a rapid growing, making marine fungi a considered potential sources for natural metabolites.…”
