Dual Role of Endophytic Fungi from the Roots of Terminalia arjuna (Roxb.) Wight & Arn
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Plant endophytes constitute different crucial parts of microbial differences. Plant endophytic fungi are an imperative and novel asset of natural bioactive metabolites with their different potential applications in different industries including medicine. This article focuses on the root of Terminalia arjuna, the plant with rich ethnobotanical uses, for the nearness of endophytic organisms and to decide their antibacterial and anticancer potential from its common natural surroundings. Considering the significance of this plant based on the various research, antibacterial activity was tested against four human pathogenic microorganisms in bioactive metabolites and were subjected to different tests to decide phytochemical constituents. After the screening, MTT was performed in the crude extract. The outcomes demonstrate that the crude extract of fungal endophytes of T. arjuna have both antibacterial effects and anticancer effect when tried in MCF-7 cell line.
