Discussion

Analysis reveals antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of endophytes from Arenga species, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.

S. simmonsii and A. terreus extracts exhibited significant antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, highlighting their potential health benefits.
DPPH assay determined antioxidant capacity, with S. simmonsii showing inhibition zones of 36 mm against S. aureus, indicating strong efficacy.
Analysis using LC-MS identified 14 and 18 secondary metabolites from S. simmonsii and A. terreus respectively, with anthracenes and fatty acyls as major compounds.
Further bio-guided fractionation is essential for isolating active fractions and understanding the therapeutic potential of these fungi.

Ahmed et al. (2025) studied this question.
