Abstract

• The six plants samples were collected at Pathein Township, Ayeyarwady Region. The isolation was undertaken by Surface sterilization method using LCA medium. Thirty endophytic fungi were isolated from six different plants. These endophytic fungi were isolated by using Low Carbon Agar (LCA) medium for first culture and Potato Glucose Agar (PGA) medium for pure culture. Isolated fungi were given as temporary names TFO-01 to TFO-30. The colours of all isolated fungi rouge from white, green, black, dark green, yellowish green, pale cream, whitish gray, dark gray, whitish cream, greenish gray to gray. In the study of antimicrobial activity, fungus TFO-16 exhibited the highest activity against Candida albicans and TFO-15 against Saccharomyces cerevisiae. TFO-15 also showed antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. Among these two fungi, fungus TFO-15 was selected for further investigation.
