Ethyl acetate extract from the midrib and lamina of Phyllanthus amarus were investigated for their antibacterial activity. In the present investigation, the antibacterial screening of ethylacetate extract endophytic fungi from Phyllanthus amarus was carried out. The crude and column purified culture extract of Gleosporium sp. were active against Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae) and Gram negative bacteria (Salmonella typhi, E. coli ) pathogenic bacterial strains.
