Molecular Characterization and Antibacterial Potential of Endophytic Fungal Isolates from Selected Mangroves along the Coastline of Kenya by Teresia Nyambura Wacira, Huxley Mae Makonde, Carren Moraa Bosire, Cromwell Mwiti Kibiti

“…Seven fungal broth extracts exhibited higher antibacterial activities against the tested microorganisms than the positive control. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) activity for the isolates demonstrated that the ethyl acetate extract of a root endophytic fungal isolate (RC6) (3.31 ± 0.01) of A. marina is a strong inhibitor since it showed significantly lower MIC activity compared to the positive control (3.84 ± 0.00) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P<0.05). …”
