Abstract

Objective:The aim of this study was to isolate the endophyte of Ficus carica and screen of its antibiotic activities. Method:The endophytic fungi were indentified by morphology,Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli,Alternaria brassicae,Valsa mali,Fusarium graminearum,F. oxysporumf. sp. fragariae,Penicillium notatum were selected as the indicator to test the inhibitory activity of the isolated strains. Result:Sixtyone strains of endophytic fungi were isolated from the healthy root,stem and leaf of F. carice,which belonged to twenty genera,twelve families,seven orders and five classes. Of them forty strains were antimicrobial. The percentage of antimicrobial strains to tested strains is 65. 57% . Conclusion:It indicated that the endophyte of F. carica were diversity and rich and has the best research and application value.
