Bioactives are chemical compounds often referred to as secondary metabolites. Thirty one bioactive compounds were identified in the methanolic extract of Aspergillus flavus. Origanum vulgare (Crude) was very highly active 6.95±0.25 mm. The results of anti-fungal and anti-bacterial activity produced by Aspergillus flavus showed that the volatile compounds were highly effective to suppress the growth of Penicillium expansum 5.33±0.21and Pseudomonas eurogenosa (6.72 ± 0.23) mm. Keywords: Antifungal, Antibacterial, Aspergillus flavus, GC-MS, Medicinal plants, Metabolites. INTRODUCTION The genus Aspergillus belongs to the Deuteromycota division of the fungi kingdom. The genus comprises approximately 180 species, of which 33 have been associated with human disease 1-6. A culture yielding Aspergillus spp., in addition to enabling a diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis, may further define therapeutic options via susceptibility testing or the isolation of a species possessing inherent antifungal resistance; examples of the latter include A terreus and A nidulans, which are both resistant to amphotericin B. Some species of the genus produce secondary metabolites in food as aflatoxins (AFs) which are produced mainly by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus A. flavus is also an opportunistic pathogen and has been isolated from insects, birds, mammals, and plants and widely distributed soil-borne molds and can be found Corresponding Author: Imad Hadi Hameed Biomedical Science Department, University of Babylon, College of Nursing, Hillah city, Iraq; Phone: imad_dna@yahoo.com anywhere on earth. It can reproduce abundantly resulting from the production of numerous airborne conidia The spores can easily disperse by air. Environment has a great impact on mould growth, with humidity being the most important variable. It is a saprophytic fungus that is capable of surviving on many organic nutrient sources like plant debris, tree leaves 28-35, decaying wood, animal fodder, cotton, compost piles, dead insect and animal carcasses, outdoor and indoor air environment (air ventilation system), stored grains, and even human and animal patients The aims of this study were analysis of the secondary metabolites and evaluation antibacterial and antifungal activity. MATERIAL AND METHOD Aspergillus flavus was isolated from dried fruit and the pure colonies were selected, isolated and maintained in potato dextrose agar slants. Spores were grown in a liquid culture of potato dextrose broth (PDB) and incubated at 25ºC in a shaker for eighteen days at 130 rpm. The extraction was performed by adding twenty five ml methanol to 150 ml liquid culture in an Erlenmeyer flask after the filtration of the culture. The residue was dissolved in 1 ml methanol, filtered through a 0.2 μm syringe filter, and stored at 4ºC for 24 h before

Aspergillus flavus isolate was suspended in potato dextrose broth and diluted to approximately 105 colony forming unit (CFU) per ml. Five-millimeter diameter wells were cut from the agar using a sterile cork-borer, and 25 μl of the samples plant solutions were delivered into the wells. The plates were incubated for 48 h at room temperature. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated by measuring the zone of inhibition against the test microorganisms. Methanol was used as solvent control 50,51. Amphotericin B and fluconazole were used as reference antifungal agent. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and differences among the means were determined for significance at P < 0.05 using Duncan s multiple range test (by SPSS software) Version 9.1.
