Abstract

• In the study on the isolation of soil fungi, 43 fungi were isolated from five different soil samples collected at Magway Township, Magway Region. In the investigation of antimicrobial activities of 43 soil fungi, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, acillus pumalis, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were used for the test throughout the research studies. Among them, since PS-13, PS-14, PS-15, PS-16, PS-17 and PS-18 showed the antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli. PS-13 showed most highly selective antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus than the other fungi. The characters of selected strain PS-13 are similar to those of Cephalosporium sp. (Ando and Inaba (2004), Barnett (1956)). So that strain PS-13 was determined as Cephalosporium sp.
