Mallotus philippinensis Muell an important medicinal plant in the present study i.e., endophytic extracts of different fungi associated with asymptomatic were evaluated for antimicrobial activity. This will be a new promising source of antimicrobials known as endophytes. In this preliminary study, different parts of plants viz. steam and leaves were used for isolation of endophytic fungi and fermented. The endophytic fungi were identified based on their morphology and characteristics of fungal spores. The cell free ferment broth was subjected to antimicrobial assay against different human pathogenic microbes viz. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, E. faecalis, K .pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa and three fungal pathogenic strains of candida i.e. C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. krusie by using standard disc diffusion method.
