Antimicrobial Potential of Endophytic Fungi From Artemisia argyi and Bioactive Metabolites From Diaporthe sp. AC1.

ABSTRACT: Endophytic fungi of medicinal plants are important sources of active natural products. In this study, 26 fungi were isolated from Artemisia argyi, which were belonging to eight genera, namely, Alternaria, Fusarium, Chaetomium, Phoma, Diaporthe, Trichoderma, Gibberella, and Colletotrichum. The antimicrobial activities of all fungal extracts were tested by using the cup-plate method against Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteritidis, and Fusarium graminearum. The results demonstrated that 25 extracts (96%) exhibited inhibitory activity against at least one of the tested pathogenic microorganisms. The strain Diaporthe sp. AC1, which showed good antimicrobial activity and high yield of crude extract f
