The marine fungi occurring on the wood samples were studied. Diversity of marine fungi colonizing the lignicolous wood samples was assessed and their distribution pattern was determined. The antibacterial activity of Aspergillus oryzae was tested against five human pathogens by agar well diffusion method. Based on the results, the compounds were separated by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and these compounds were tested against three human bacterial pathogens. The separated compounds were further analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify the functional groups, for the antibacterial activity.Keywords

The soils collected from a backwater environment at Vellapallam in Nagapattinam district of Tamilnadu state along the east coast of India during May 2013 were subjected to the examination of fungi on PDA medium and physicochemical characteristics. The culturable propagules of the fungi were in the range from 6.98 to 106 x 102 CFU/g and the species diversity (number of species) was from 5 to 9.
The pH of the soil was in the range from 7.9 to 8.9; electrical conductivity from 0.04 to 1.31 dSm-1; cation exchange capacity from 8.01 to 10.11 c.mol proton+/kg; organic carbon from 0.04 to 0.21%; available nitrogen from 0.011 to 0.22%; available phosphorus from 0.001 to 0.006%; available potassium from 0.011 to 0.057 ppm; available zinc from 0.36 to 0.57 ppm; available iron from 2.01 to 2.91 ppm; available copper from 0.14 to 0.34 ppm; available manganese from 1.22 to 1.53 ppm; calcium from 3.1 to 5.7 mg/kg; magnesium from 3.1 to 4.2 mg/kg; sodium from 0.29 to 1.73 mg/kg; and potassium 0.01 to 0.08 mg/kg. Among them electrical conductivity and the Organic Matter showed significant positive correlation with the total fungal population.
All the fungal species that were isolated from soils were tested against F. semitectum, a known soil borne fungal pathogen, by dual culture and food poisoning methods. Among them Trichoderma koeningii showed promising activity against the pathogenic fungus for the maximum both in dual culture and in food poisoning techniques. The inhibition was 61.3% at 20% concentration. As the antagonistic fungus was isolated from the environment that showed typical marine conditions, the isolate could better serve as biocontrol agent to control the soil born pathogen, F. semitectum in saline soil crop fields.

Altogether 37 species belonged to 10 genera were recorded. A preliminary screening of all the species isolated from soils were used for antifungal (antagonistic) activity against Fusarium semitectum, a known soil borne fungal pathogen. Among the species tested, Trichoderma koeningii showed promising activity, inhibited the pathogenic fungus for the maximum both in dual culture and in food poisoning technique. When HPLC fractionation of the mycelial extract of T. koeningii grown in PDA broth yielded three fractions. They were named as peak 1, peak 2 and peak 3.Among the three fractions, peak 2 alone showed the antifungal activity with the inhibition zone of 13 mm diameter against Fusarium semitectum. The functional groups present in peak 1 and 3 are almost same, but in the peak 2 some extra functional groups are present. These groups may be responsible for the antifungal activity of this fraction.
