Antimicrobial Activity of Pyrenochatea sp. (PS) Crude Extract (CR) and Fractions PS-1-PS-4.a
| sample | S. aureus growth inhibition (%) |
|---|---|
| chloramphenicolb | 99.2 ± 0.2% |
| PS-CR | 78.2 ± 2.4% |
| PS-1 | 40.0 ± 1.2% |
| PS-2 | 36.3 ± 1.5% |
| PS-3 | 26.4 ± 4.7% |
| PS-4 | 95.8 ± 1.7% |
a
Growth inhibition of S. aureus strain SA1199 is displayed as percent growth inhibition normalized to the vehicle control as measured by OD600. Pyrenochatea sp. samples were measured at a concentration of 100 μg/mL. Data presented as mean of triplicate analyses ± SEM.
b
Chloramphenicol functioned as the positive control.
