Abstract
Physalis angulata L. is known for treating various diseases caused by free radicals and bacterial infections. Endophytic fungi in P. angulata L. plants are of concern because they have the potential to be developed. This research identify morphological characters, macroscopic and microscopic, determine the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of the ethyl acetate extract of the fruit endophytic fungus P. angulata L and compare it with the host plant. Identification of fungal morphology based on macroscopic and microscopic characters. Antioxidant activity was tested using the DPPH method and antibacterial activity was tested using the Kirby-Bauer diffusion method. The results of isolating endophytic fungi from P. angulata L. fruit produced 2 isolates, namely CH1 and CH2. Based on macroscopic and microscopic characters, isolate CH1 was identified as Fusarium sp. and isolate CH2 was identified as Aspergillus sp. The endophytic fungal isolate was then cultivated to obtain ethyl acetate extract. The test results showed that the ethyl acetate extract of endophytic mushrooms had antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The antioxidant activity of ethyl acetate extract from endophytic fungi is weaker than that of the host plant, while the antibacterial activity is stronger than that of the host plant. It proves that endophytic fungi isolated from P. angulata L. fruit have the potential to be developed into medicinal ingredients to treat free radicals and bacterial infections.
