Abstract
Endophytic fungi are the storehouse of bioactive compounds that are of significantly important. Aspergillus niger is one the important microbe that have wide range of industrial applications and of pharmaceutical importance. The present study was carried out to screen the secondary metabolites and to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of endophytic fungi Aspergillus Niger isolated from Alangium salviifolium (L.f.) Wangerin. The ethyl acetate extract of Aspergillus nigershowed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, phenols, anthraquinones and terpenoids. The DPPH assay revealed that the fungal extract has 78% of inhibition at 300 µl concentration. The crude extract was effective and showed good inhibition zone of around 9 to 15mm against both gram negative and grampositive bacteria. It also showed considerable antifungal activity.
