Abstract: Antimicrobial activity of crude fungal metabolites of endophytic fungi isolated from leaves of Avicennia marina. Four different concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100µl) of endophytic fungal metabolities act against microorganisms such as B. subtilis, E. aerogenes, K. pneumoniae, P. aeroginosa, S. typhi, A. niger, A. ochraceous, C. geniculata, F. moniliforme and T. viride was carried out by agar well diffusion method. The maximum zone inhibitions were measured in 100µl of Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium citrinum fungal metabolities against microbes. But, no zone of inhibition detected in T. viride against Aspergillus flavus fungal metabolites Findings from the research indicated that the studies could also pave a way for new therapeutic agents who can be used as potential drugs against the selected microorganisms.
