Abstract
Antifungal activities of methanolic extracts against Gloephyllum trabeum and Pycnoporus sanguineus were evaluated using a medium in which homogenized hyphae were dispersed. A total of eleven hardwood species of Malaysian timbers from seven families were studied and they included kekatong merpauh periang keruing latek jelutong meranti seraya bintangor daun karat bintangor bukit sentul merawan siput jantan perah ikan and angsana. The determination of the antifungal activities were measured based on the existence of inhibition zones and the minimum amounts ug of samples required inhibiting the fungal growth. The results showed that methanolic extracts from the heartwood of bintangor bukit and outer wood of merpauh periang had the best resistance against G. trabeum with 50 ug of minimum amount needed. Meanwhile the antifungal activities of methanolic extracts of angsana bark and perah ikan bark and sapwood were recorded at minimum amounts of 25 ug against P. sanguineus.
