Schizophyllum commune by product (SCB) extracted was investigated from different
organic solvent having the different relative polarity consisting of hexane, ethyl acetate,
dichloromethane, 2-butanol, ethanol, methanol and water as antimicrobial and antioxidant agent
in order to added value of waste from agriculture. The antibacterial assay to pathogenic bacteria
for economic fish culture Aeromonas hydrophila and Streptococcus agalactiae were tested by
disc diffusion method. Antioxidant capacity was measured by DPPH assays. The result found
that the inhibitory to pathogenic bacteria was not observed in all SCB extract compared to
positive disc of commercial antibiotic (oxytetracyclin and norfloxacin) at the concentration of
20,000 ppm. While, the DPPH radical scavenging activity of each extract was significantly
different (p <0.05). SCB extracted by methanol showed the highest activity (IC50=23 g/mL)
with no significant difference to SCB extracted by 2-butanol. The lowest level was observed in
SCB extracted by ethanol and ethyl acetate (IC50=35 ug/mL). This study indicated that the
different of organic solvent gave the different capacity of antioxidant level and SCB extract
might be used as antioxidant agent in aquaculture.
