Abstract
This study was conducted to test the potential antimicrobial activity produce by six strains of Monascus purpureus against pathogens. Monascus purpureus 1379 1604 5354 5357 5391 and 5460 were preliminary screened for antagonistic activity by agar plug test against 9 test microorganisms; Bacillus subtilis Bacillus cereus Staphylococcus aureus Listeria monocytogen Salmonella typhi Shigella dysentri Pseudomonas aeruginosa Candida albicans and Candida krusei. All strains showed antagonistic effect against Bacillus subtilis. Monascus purpureus 5460 and 5391 also inhibit Bacillus cereus Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Shigella dysentri while Monascus purpureus 1379 also inhibit Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The study exhibited zone inhibitions produced by the fungus due to the antimicrobial action towards some gram positive and gram negative bacteria further study will be proceed base on this result to enhance the antimicrobial activity of the fungus.
