ASSESSMENT OF FUNGICIDAL AND FUNGISTATIC PROPERTIES OF SOME NIGERIAN MOSS PLANTS
FEMI-ADEPOJU, Abiola G., ADEPOJU Adeyinka O,OGUNKUNLE Adepoju T. J
Extracts from four Nigerian mosses; Barbula lambarenensis J. Hedwig, Octoblepharum albidum Hedw., Thuidium gratum (P. Beauv.) A. Jaeger, and Calymperes afzelli Swartz, Jahrv. Gewachsk were prepared using ethanol, petroleum ether, acetone and distilled water with the aid of soxhlet extractor and their antifungal effects tested on Penicillum chrysogenum and Rhizopus stolonifer. Agar diffusion method was used for P. chrysogenum while potato nutrient broth was used to grow Rhizopus stolonifer. All the four plant extracts tested had fungistatic effects against the test organisms but none was fungicidal to them. Moreover, ethanolic extracts generally recorded higher retardation of fungal growth than those of petroleum ether, acetone and distilled water.
