Phytochemistry, Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Grewia lasiocarpa E. Mey. Ex Harv. Fungal Endophytes: A Computational and Experimental Validation Study

Abstract The genus Grewia are well‐known for their medicinal properties and are widely used in traditional remedies due to their rich phytochemical composition and potential health benefits. This study isolated and characterized five endophytic fungi from Grewia lasiocarpa E. Mey. Ex Harv. and evaluated their in vitro antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Five [Aspergillus fumigatus (MK243397.1), A. fumigatus (MK243451.1), Penicillium raistrickii (MK243492.1), P. spinulosum (MK243479.1), Meyerozyma guilliermondii (MK243634.1)] of the 22 isolated endophytic fungi had inhibitory activity (62.5–1000 µg/mL) against methicillin‐resistant
