Abstract:
In the present study, crude metabolic substances from endophytic bacteria Bacillus subtillis were extracted by solvent extraction method and tested their bio-efficacy against R. bataticola by agar well diffusion assay. Among the different concentrations tested significantly higher inhibition was recorded at 100 μl (77.23 %). The microscopical examination of the crude metabolite treated mycelia of the R. bataticola revealed its effect on the fungal morphology. Light microscopic analysis showed that severe mycelial destruction such as breakages, vacuolations, bursting, swellings, lysis, bulged hyphal tips and hyphae, cytoplasmic aggregations etc., and the SEM images clearly explained the disruption of the fungal hyphae due to the mechanistic effect of antibiotic compounds on fungal cell wall.
