ISOLATED FROM TEPHROSIA PURPUREA ROOT}, volume={11}, url={https://journals.innovareacademics.in/index.php/ijpps/article/view/28230}, DOI={10.22159/ijpps.2019v11i3.28230}, abstractNote={<p><strong>Objective</strong>: The objective of the present investigation was to find antimicrobial and MIC of endophytic fungi <em>Fusarium </em>sp. isolated from <em>Tephrosia purpurea</em> root.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: Well diffusion assay was performed to find out the antimicrobial activity and Resazurin dye reduction method was performed to find out MIC of the extract.</p> <p><strong>Result: </strong>The extract showed the highest zone of inhibition of 22.66±0.57 mm, (<em>Bacillus subtilis</em>, MTCC-441) for Gram-positive bacteria and 20.66±0.57 mm, (<em>E. coli</em>, MTCC-443) for Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, the MIC of the extract was found to be (31.25 µg/ml-125 µg/ml).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Hence, the endophytic fungi isolated from the <em>Tephrosia purpurea</em> root, i.e. <em>Fusarium </em>sp. showed good antimicrobial activity and hence can be used to find a novel drug. </p>}, number={3}, journal={International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences}, author={THAKUR, DEEPENDRA and SAHANI, KAMANA}, year={2019}, month={Mar.}, pages={48–53} }
