Abstract

• Ten soil samples were collected from ten different places of Waing Maw areas, Kachin State. 22 fungi were isolated from these ten soil samples. The isolated soil fungi were checked the antimicrobial activity by paper disc diffusion assay method. PPK-01, PPK-03, PPK-04, PPK-10, PPK-14, PPK-18 and PPK-20 showed antibacterial activities. The fungus PPK-10 and PPK-14 showed the activity on Agrobacterium tumefaciens IFO543, Bacillus subtilis KY-327, Micrococcus luteus NITE83297, Pseudomonas fluorescens IFO94307. Among them, PPK-10 showed the highest antibacterial activities (PPK-10, 29.62 mm inhibitory zone) on Agrobacterium tumefaciens IFO543. This fungus PPK-10 was isolated from the soil sample collected from Nawng Hee. Therefore, fungus PPK-10 was selected for further investigations based on the results of antimicrobial activity.
