Abstract

Eighteen strains of marine fungi were isolated from the sediments of the South China Sea and primarily identified by intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing. Cytotoxic and antibacterial activities of their fermentation products were evaluated using the 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo(-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) method. The results showed that five strains displayed cytotoxic activity against human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) with an inhibition rate of above 90%; fifteen strains exhibited bacterial inhibition against Staphylococcus aureusat the rate above 90%, accounting for 83.3% of the total strains isolated; two strains showed bacterial inhibition against Escherichia coliat the rate above 90% and two strains showed bacterial inhibition against Pseudomonas aeruginosaat the rate above 90%; and one strain was found to show strong bacterial inhibition against the three tested bacteria.
