Abstract

The present study was aimed to evaluate antimicrobial activity of fungal strains against four bacterial & four fungal pathogens isolated from ripen Banana fruits. The antimicrobial activity of fungal strains against fruit deteriorating pathogens was evaluated by co-inoculation method, followed by confirmatory test by pour plate method. The solvent extraction and evaluation for antimicrobial properties were studied by agar well diffusion method. In the co-inoculation and pour plate method there was a formation of significant zone of inhibition against pathogens. Methanolic and ethanolic extracts of selected fungal strain showed effective antibacterial effect and the methanolic extract of selected fungal strain also demonstrated strong antifungal effect against pathogens. These findings may stimulate the search for new antibacterial and antifungal agents.
