Isolasi dan Identifikasi Fungi Endofit Tanaman Suruhan (Peperomia pellucida L. Kunth)

Abstract

Plants Suruhan (Paperomia pellucida L. Kunth) has traditionally been used as a drug abscesses, boils acne, skin diseases, headaches, relieve pain in arthritic.Various properties owned by the plant Suruhan make this plant as a major commodity medicinal plants are cultivated by the people.
