Abstract EN
In the present study, mushrooms, Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus florida, were cultivated on different agricultural wastes namely coffee straw (CS), pea straw (PS), Sorghum Grain Residue (SGR), and Wheat Grain (WG) for the evaluation of antibacterial activity.
Antimicrobial activity evaluation was carried out against human pathogenic microorganisms, namely, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella typhi by using the disc diffusion method.
Methanolic extracts of P.
ostreatus cultivated on a Sorghum grain residue substrate were recorded for the highest antibacterial activity against E.
coli (19.8 mm) and P.
aeruginosa (16.4 mm), and methanolic extracts of P.
florida cultivated on a wheat grain substrate were recorded for the highest antibacterial activity against E.
coli (18.6 mm) and S.
faecalis (14.8 mm).
Therefore, results suggested that P.
ostreatus and P.
florida cultivated on the coffee straw and Sorghum grain substrate were found with the highest antimicrobial activity in comparison to other substrates.
The results supported that the methanolic extracts of P.
ostreatus and P.
florida might indeed be potential sources of antibacterial agents.
