Article: Evaluation of the Antibacterial Activity of Cultivated on Different Agricultural Wastes in Chiro, Ethiopia

In the present study, mushrooms, and , were cultivated on different agricultural wastes namely coffee straw (CS), pea straw (PS), Grain Residue (SGR), and Wheat Grain (WG) for the evaluation of antibacterial activity. Antimicrobial activity evaluation was carried out against human pathogenic microorganisms, namely, , , , , and by using the disc diffusion method. Methanolic extracts of cultivated on a S grain residue substrate were recorded for the highest antibacterial activity against (19.8 mm) and (16.4 mm), and methanolic extracts of cultivated on a wheat grain substrate were recorded for the highest antibacterial activity against (18.6 mm) and (14.8 mm). Therefore, results suggested that and cultivated on the coffee straw and grain substrate were found with the highest antimicrobial activity in comparison to other substrates. The results supported that the methanolic extracts of and might indeed be potential sources of antibacterial agents.
