Abstract | ||||
The aim of this study was to identify the endophytic fungi isolated from Ficus elastica decora and to investigate their potential antifungal activity and their total phenolic content of their fermentation extract. Two fungal species of endophytic fungi were successfully isolated from leaves including Aspergillus parasiticus and penicillium verrocusom. The fungal extracts were assessed for antifungal activity against Candida albicans where penicillium verrocusom extract showed larger inhibition zone than Aspergillus parasiticus one while Aspergillus parasiricus extract had higher total phenolic content than Penicilllium verrocusum one. | ||||
