ABSTRACT

Fungi are plant-like organisms that lack chlorophyll. Mangrove associated fungi are the second
most diverse organisms that remain less explored. Secondary metabolites of fungi hold important
applications in the drug discovery arena. The present study involves isolation of a fungus
Aspergillus ornatus from the degraded mangrove bark. The fungal extract was further studied for its
antimicrobial potential and chemical characteristics. The extract showed promising antimicrobial
activity against the test organisms.
Key words: Fungi, mangrove, secondary metabolites, antimicrobial, antibacterial, TLC, FT-IR
