Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and peroxidase-mediated cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitory properties of extract.

Nigerian soil fungi population is unexplored. It is hypothesized that they harbour new bioactive chemicals. This hypothesis is based on the large percentage of currently approved medicines that originated from soil-inhabiting micro-organisms To investigate the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract selected based on its broad spectrum of antimicrobial potential in an overlay experiment with seven other soil fungi strains.
