Research objectives
1. To isolate sponge-associated fungi from mangrove ecosystem
2. To screen the antimicrobial activity and its secondary metabolite
3. To screen the production of extracellular enzyme
4. To identify the potential isolates
11. • There were 8 isolates from sponges associated with mangroves
• SPMKF 1 & SPMKF 6 only performed the activity of amylase, SPMKF 4 & 5 only
performed anti-MRSA while SPMKF 8 showed antimicrobial activity against ESBL
E. coli, C. albicans and S. enterica ser. Typhi and activity of amylase
• SPMKF 1 was identified as Cladosporium tenuissimum
• SPMKF 4 was identified as Eutypella sp.
• SPMKF 5 was identified as Lasiodiplodia theobromae
• SPMKF 6 was identified as Fusarium keratoplasticum
• SPMKF 8 was identified as Fusarium solani
• α-Amylase gene was identified in SPMKF 1, 6 & 8 while there was only SPMKF 8
showed positive result of NRPS gene
• There was antibacterial activity at fraction of 21, 23 and 24 from fungus F. solani
SPMKF 8
CONCLUSIONS
12. 1. Optimization of PCR condition to detect
the BGC and α-Amylase genes
2. Purification and characterization of the
enzymes
3. Isolation and elucidation of single lead
compounds from F. solani SPMKF 8 using
bioguided isolation method
