Bioactive compounds of endophytic fungi exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancerous, antiviral and insecticidal properties. They harbor inter or intra-cellular in the plants epidermal layer. They are the most potent microorganisms in establishing interrelationship with plant without harming them or asymptomatically. They have the mechanism which enables them to establish association with the plant and produce similar bioactive compound as plant produce. This research paper focused on the isolation, production, screening and separation of exploitable bioactive compounds from the plants Tulsi and Aloe vera. Total 5 fungi were isolated from segments of the plants. And the organisms taken for the study are both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria i.e. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogens, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively which were isolated from the clinical samples (like wound, blood and urine) and the results of antibacterial screening showed that (BCEF-01*), (BCEF-02*), (BCEF-03*), (BCEF-04*) and (BCEF-05*) inhibited all the test organisms. The inhibitory effect was promising to all the test organisms showing sufficient zone of inhibition with respect to all the fungal extracts.
