Abstract: Hexane extract of cell free culture filtrate of Bacillus licheniformis MTCC 7445 isolated from rhizoshere soil of a resistant tomato plant showed antifungal activity against a number of soilborne and human pathogenic fungi. Maximum activity was observed against Botrytis cinerea (ED₅₀ = 23.79 μg/ml), Candida albicans (ED50 33.45 μg/ml) and Microsporum canis (ED₅₀ = 39.02 μg/ml). Metabolites such as 1-methyl pyrrolidene, 1-methyl cyclohexene, 4,4-dimethyl cyclohexane, ethyl-4-ethoxybenzoate, 2-butoxyethanol, naphthalene, ter butyl benzene and phenoxy acetic acid were identified by GC-MS and comparing the mass spectrum with the NIST library.
