Abstract

Aspergillus sp. SSPB4332 is halophilic fungus growing on potato dextrose agar salinity up to 250 ppt. The fungal strain was cultured in potato dextrose broth (PDB/DW) as well as 30 ppt salinity-potato dextrose broth (PDB/SW), and the culture filtrates were subjected to ethyl acetate extraction. Disk diffusion assay was adopted to evaluate the inhibitory effect of crude extracts against Gram positive bacteria; Bacillus cereus TISTR 008 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Gram negative bacteria; Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 13311, and yeast: Candida albicans ATCC 90028. The crude extracts of culture filtrates from PDB/DW and PDB/SW exhibited more potent inhibitory effect against Gram positive bacteria than Gram negative bacteria and yeast. The MIC of crude extracts from PDB/SW against  B. cereus and S. aureus were 128 and 256 µg/ml, respectively, whereas the MIC of PDB/DW crude extracts against all of these strains were 512 µg/ml. The seven components with the Rf values of 0.49, 0.53, 0.57, 0.61, 0.63, 0.68 and 0.72 respectively were separated from both crude extracts by thin layer chromatography in toluene:methanol:acetone solvent system at the ratio of 6:1:3 (v/v). Besides antimicrobial substance(s), the production of potent antioxidant(s) compared to 1.25 mg/ml ascorbic acid was also pronounced by Aspergillus sp. SSPB4332.Keywords: halophilic fungi, crude extract, antibacterial, anti-yeast, antioxidant
