Various extracts (Petroleum ether, Acetone, Chloroform, Methanol and water) of seeds of Alangium salvifolium (l.f) wangerin were investigated for their in vitro antifungal properties. The antimicrobial activity of the extract was tested against the pathogenic fungi, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium oxysporum, Cladosporium fulvum and Mucor racemosus. Methanol was the best solvent to extract when compared to other extracts. The strongest inhibitory effect of the extracts was observed against Aspergillus flavus and weakest effect was against Cladosporium fulvum. Result clearly indicate that the seeds of Alangium salvifolium is a promising source of antimicrobial compounds. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol8no2/antifungal-activity-of-seeds-of-alangium-salvifolium-l-f-wangerin-alangiaceae/ Alangium salvifolium; Antifungal activity; Alangiaceae and mycotoxins
