Abstract
The in vitro antibacterial activity of the endophytic fungus Aspergillus neobridgeri PLR9 (isolated from the plant Pistacia lentiscus) against a wide range of tested bacteria were studied. The maximum inhibitory activity was found on malt extract agar medium with a mean inhibitory zone of 11.3 mm (p<0.05). The ethyl acetate extract showed a significant inhibitory zone of 13.4 mm (p<0.05), followed by dichloromethane 9.1 mm. Whereas, n-hexane extract showed no activity. The largest inhibition zones were observed against Staphylococcus aureus 3, S. aureus 5 and Escherichia coli 1 with 21.0 mm of diameter. The MIC's were ranged between 312.5 and 1,250 μg/mL. The MBC's were ≤2500 μg/mL for most Gram positive bacteria and ≥2500 μg/mL for most Gram negative bacteria. Time kill assay study against the Enterococcus faecium showed a bactericidal effect at 4x MIC and bacteriostatic against Acinetobacter baumannii at different concentrations. Moreover, it is the first report, PLR9 isolated as endophyte and studied for their antimicrobial activity.
期刊介绍:
Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology (Bangladesh J Pharmacol) is an open access, video component, peer-reviewed journal of the Bangladesh Pharmacological Society (BDPS).
A scholarly publication is defined ''open access'' when there are no financial, legal or technical barriers to accessing it. Anyone can read, download, copy, distribute, print or use it in educational purpose within the legal agreements.
Peer review of a manuscript means the evaluation of research work by one or more people with similar competences. It can be open or blind. We do the single-blind peer review.
Our readers want to know the methodology used by the researchers which is very important to get the results. The video clip of one of the methodologies is prepared by the authors and submit it to publish.
