NON-POLAR CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF DICHLOROMETHANE FRACTION OF ENDOPHYTIC BACTERIA BACILLUS HALOTOLERANS XJB-35

Abstract

Endophytic bacteria are found in the within tissues of plants and have intimate associations with their host. Moreover, endophytes are potent source of antimicrobial natural compounds that mimic plant-based metabolites. The current study we isolated endophytic bacteria from the stem of Vernonia anthelmintica and investigated volatile chemical composition of dichloromethane extraction. A total 14 compound identified by Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in addition measured antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans.
