One of the harbours of endophytic fungi was medicinal plants. In this study, medicinal plant of Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels was used to isolate endophytic fungi, especially from the leaves. The surface sterilization was first step before isolation of endophytic fungi. Isolation of endophytic fungi used potato dextrose agar (PDA) media and PDA containing plant extract. The single spores from endophytic fungi were obtained using water agar method. Thirty-seven endophytic fungi have been isolated from S. cumini and the antimicrobial activity was shown by 17 of endophytic fungi isolates. The result shows that endophytic fungi isolated from leaves of S. cumini (L.) Skeels display a good source of natural antimicrobial agents. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
