Abstract

Antimicrobial activity of different culture extract of Oudemansiella sp grown on liquid medium (MYGP) were tested. Different fungi (C. albicans, C. lipolytica, Saccharomyces cervisiea, Cladosporium herbarum, and Aspergillus niger) and bacteria (Microccocus luteus, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis) were used as test organisms.

Various antimicrobial assay methods including paper disc agar diffusion and microdilution method, were employed to determine possible activity of the extracts. Relative MIC values showed strong activity of the ethyl acetate extract of the fungus against tested bacteria and fungi, especially filamentous fungi.
