<title>ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF SECONDARY METABOLITES FROM ENDOPHYTIC FUNGI ISOLATED FROM NERIUM OLEANDER L. </title>
<abstract>Endophytic fungi found inside the plant tissue are endosymbionts, protecting their host from pests, pathogens, etc. Twenty eight endophytic fungi were isolated from different parts of  lessThan i greaterThan Nerium oleander  lessThan /i greaterThan L lessThan i greaterThan ., lessThan /i greaterThan  out of which, 54% of isolates were from flower, 39% from stem and 7% from leaf parts. Thirty six percent of the isolates showed antimicrobial activity against tested pathogens. The potential isolates such as  lessThan i greaterThan Fusarium semitectum  lessThan /i greaterThan (Nof-3) lessThan i greaterThan ,  lessThan /i greaterThan  lessThan i greaterThan Colletotrichum gloeosporioides lessThan /i greaterThan  (Nof-7) lessThan i greaterThan , Alternaria alternata lessThan /i greaterThan  (Nof-8) and Mycelia Sterilia sp.1 (Nos-6) were subjected to the production and extraction of secondary metabolites. All the four fungal extracts inhibited  lessThan i greaterThan Staphylococcus aureus lessThan /i greaterThan  and lessThan i greaterThan  Bacillus cereus  lessThan /i greaterThan at 20 μg/mL (MIC). Extracts of lessThan i greaterThan  C lessThan /i greaterThan . lessThan i greaterThan  gloeosporioides lessThan /i greaterThan  and Mycelia Sterilia sp.1 showed activity against  lessThan i greaterThan Pseudomonas aeruginosa lessThan /i greaterThan  at MIC of 20 μg/mL. The growth of  lessThan i greaterThan Escherichia coli lessThan /i greaterThan  was suppressed by all the tested extracts at MIC of 20 μg/mL except  lessThan i greaterThan F lessThan /i greaterThan . lessThan i greaterThan  semitectum lessThan /i greaterThan .  lessThan i greaterThan A lessThan /i greaterThan . lessThan i greaterThan  alternata lessThan /i greaterThan  &amp; Mycelia Sterilia sp.1 extracts were active against  lessThan i greaterThan Salmonella typhimurium lessThan /i greaterThan  at 20 μg/mL. The growth of  lessThan i greaterThan Candida albicans  lessThan /i greaterThan was inhibited by Mycelia Sterilia sp.1 at 20 μg/mL lessThan i greaterThan .  lessThan /i greaterThan The zones of inhibition were statistically significant with respective positive controls.</abstract>
