BIOACTIVITIES OF DIVERSE ENDOPHYTES ISOLATED FROM THE STEM BARK OF MORUS ALBA L.

Endophytes provide a plethora of potential substances that are used in modern medicine. There is an emergence interest to discover compounds from endophytes due their abundant availability renewable sources, and low cost relative chemically synthesized compounds. Studies have shown Morus alba plant has antioxidant antibacterial activities. Hence, the present study we deals with bioprospecting alba. Stem bark M. was collected different regions Gujarat. Total 13 bacteria 14 fungal were isolated samples. Among 27 endophytic isolates, extract four isolates showed significant activity diameter zone ranged 8.0±0.0 22.33±1.262 mm considerable minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values. These extracts also inhibition reactive oxygen species 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Triterpenoids, flavonoids, phenols these which might be responsible for bioactivities. Results this concluded stem L. important bioactivities vitro. may prove good candidate agents can exploited pharmaceuticals after further development.
