Ganodermaapplanatum is one of the most popular medicinal mushroom due to its various biologically active components. In the present study, we explored the antibacterial effect of Oman’s Ganodermaapplanatum.Methanolic extract obtained from G. Applanatum tested for growth inhibition against different bacterial strains (such as E.coli, Klebsiella,Staphylococcus and Bacillus) and further we analyzed their chemical profiling by GCMS analysis. We found appreciable anti-microbial activity with different concentration of extract tested. To the best our knowledge this is the first report on Oman’s Ganodermaapplanatum for its antibacterial and chemical profiling.
