Antimicrobial Activity and Identification The Compounds of Methanol Extract from The Pleurotus Ostreatus Fruiting Body
Abstract: Pleurotus ostreatus
is an edible mushroom that also has potential as medicinal values. In this
study, fruiting body of P. ostreatus was tested for its ability to inhibit the
growth of fungi and bacteria. The fruiting body powder of P. ostreatus was
extracted using methanol by maceration method. Analysis of this compound was
done by using anisaldehid sulfuric acid, Dragendorff reagent, and FeCl3. Using
the agar well diffusion technique, the extracts were tested for their
antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positive),
Enterobacter aerogenes (Gram negative) and Candida albican (yeast). The spot
results on TLC using crude extract of P. ostreatus is terpenoids. Zone of
inhibition for the various extracts varied between 10.9 - 23.2 mm. Ten
miligrams extract exhibit maximum antimicrobial activity against most of the
tested pathogens
