ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF SOME SPECIES OF PHELLINUS AND GANODERMA SAMPLE FROM WESTERN GHATS OF INDIA
AbstractPhellinus and Ganoderma are a folk medicinal, wood inhabiting fungus, recently been studied for its pharmacological activities. In the current study, Acetone, Methanol and ethyl acetate extracts were prepared from species of Phellinus and Ganoderma. The active compounds of acetone and methanol extracts have the same polarity but they show different activity. The antimicrobial assay showed zone of inhibition against different strains of Acinetobacter and acetone extract gave best results. Therefore, the extract of Phellinus may contain different bioactive compounds like sesquiterpens, triterpens etc that may act on Acinetobacter. A significant broad spectrum anti-bacterial activity from Phellinus spp. was revealed through the study
