“…The present study showed that fermentation supernatant of puffball( Bovistella radicata ) had potent antifungal and antibacterial activity with MIC value of 31.2 μg/ml, Maximum zone of inhibition (ZOI) was observed against T. rubrum (29.01 mm), T. mentagrophytes (21.02 mm), E. floccosum (12.03 mm), C. albicans (8.03 mm), B. subtilis (8.01 mm), S. aureus (35.02 mm), E. coli (15.03 mm), P. aeruginosa (28.01 mm). The antifungal activity of puffball may be attributed to an array of secondary metabolites by its spore germination, then the active substances are liberated by rupture of spore or the major secondary metabolites were produced just like steroid saponins, sesquiterpenes, flavonoids, alkaloids, puffball polysaccharide, fatty acids, amino acid, proteins and peptides and so on (Cantrell et al 1999; Lam et al 2001; Kamo et al 2006). The present study revealed that puffball isolated from JiangXi province showed good antimicrobial activity against tested microbes in preliminary screening.…”
