1. Introduction
The emerging of foodborne diseases are a
phenomenon in recent years. Safety and food control
have been recognized as important issues in many
countries for decades. The recent outbreaks of
foodborne disease have shaken the consumers’ trust in
the food safety systems. Most foodborne disease from
fishery product is caused by Staphylococcus aureus
and Escherichia coli. The major impact of
microbiological foodborne is gastroenteritis which
may result in hospitalize and death.
In developing countries, numerous communities
have been using local plants in different ways to treat
various diseases including gastroenteritis. Medicinal
plants constitute an effective source of both traditional
and modern medicine. Though some plants are assumed

to produce metabolites with biological activities, it has
been reported recently that fungal endophytes residing
within these plants could also produce metabolites
similar to or with more activity than that of their
respective hosts [1]. Therefore, it is believed that search
for novel compounds should be directed towards plants
that commonly serve indigenous populations for
medicinal purposes and plants growing in unique
environmental setting or interesting endemic locations
as they are expected to harbor novel microbial that may
produce unique metabolites [2].
Mangrove is a host for groups of fungi known as
“manglicolous fungi” which play important roles in
nutrient cycle of mangrove habitat. Previous study on
secondary metabolites of endophytic fungi from
mangrove revealed that the fungi produced antibiotic,
including griseofulvin, which commonly found in
Penicillium griseofulvum. With this knowledge, we

isolated endophytic fungi from mangrove Rhizopora
mucronata on Porong river estuary to investigate its
antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus
and Escherichia coli.
