| Abstract | ||
| The present study aimed at testing the mutaginicity of the Tuber extracts of the herb Cyperus rotundus in conidia of the fungus Aspergillus amstelodami. To this end, a set of experiments we conducted first to test the Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the extracts on the growth of the fungus. At a final concentration of 1000 μg extract/ml of the growth medium, the water extract reduced the growth by only 24.46% while alcoholic extract reduced the growth by 67.56% of that without extract. Therefore, only the alcoholic extract was tested for inducing mutation resistant to the fungicide benomyl. Three concentrations of the extract, 800, 900 and 1000 µg/ml were tested but none of them was effective in inducing mutation within the experimental conditions specified. | ||
