| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of the project was to isolate endophytes and characterize secondary metabolites from the endophyte. During assessment, extracts from test tube R8 with concentrations 80µg/ml and 40µg/ml showed the greatest anti-bacterial properties/activities bacteria streptococci with inhibition zone of 6.3 mm and 4.92mm respectively. Phytochemical analysis showed that extracts in test tubes R 1, R 2, up to R 8 contained Saponnins, flavonoids and tannins. Extracts in test tubes R 1, R 3 and R 4 contained some traces of pink solution on the aqueous layers indicating some presence of few free anthraquinones. | en_US |
