Trametes species are polyporoid white rot fungi that are important in medicine as well as serving as bioremediator and biodegrader of cellulosic waste. The present study investigates the bioactive compounds and antistaphylococcal properties of extracts obtained from raw and fermented Trametes polyzona. T. polyzona was collected from dead woods in farmland around Akungba-Akoko (7 o 27' 32.4''N 5 o 45' 07.8''E) and subjected to submerged and solid-state fermentation. The raw and fermented samples were extracted using acetone and methanol. The mycochemical and antistaphylococcal properties of the extract obtained from raw and fermented T. polyzona were assessed using standard methods. Extract obtained from T. polyzona subjected to submerged fermentation exhibited higher and better antistaphylococcal activity (28.00 mm) on Staphylococcus aureus isolated from blood when compared to other extracts. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the extracts against Staphylococcus aureus ranged from 100mg/mL to 400mg/mL. Gas chromatography Mass Spectrophometric (GC-MS) analysis of the sample confirmed the presence of fourteen bioactive compounds of fatty acid group. Results from this study revealed that extracts obtained from T. polyzona contain bioactive compounds with potent antistaphylococcal properties that can be exploited by biopharmaceutical companies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
