Published Paper Details:

Evaluation of some endophytes have been carried for their possible antimicrobial activity from various parts of medicinal plants belonging to Shreeyash Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research Botanical garden Aurangabad Maharashtra (India).A total of eight bacterial endophytes and nine fungal endophytes were isolated from the aerial and underground parts of selected medicinal plants. Isolated endophytic fungal species possess antifungal and antibacterial activity respectively. Endophytic microorganisms are recognize as a potential source of novel chemical molecules that might be useful in the treatment of various diseases. Bioactive compounds of endophytic fungi exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancerous, antiviral and insecticidal properties. This research paper focused on the isolation, production, screening and separation of exploitable bioactive compounds from the plants Tulsi, Alovera, curry leaves, gulvel and turmeric leaves and stems. The obtain culture of endophytic fungi were tested for antimicrobial activity against commonly found both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms i.e. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli.. An inhibitory zone around the colony of endophytic fungi was evident of good antimicrobial activity of the fungi. From the isolated endophytic fungal species i.e. aspergillus oryzae extracted the enzyme amylase.
