Methods: Endophytic fungi was isolated with potato dextrose agar (PDA) from fruits of C. annuumand bulbs of A. cepa. Isolate of endophytic fungi was molecular identified to know the species or genus. Cultivation was carried out on rice media, 4 weeks on room temperature and the extraction by maceration using ethyl acetate. Antioxidant activity were tested by DPPH method. While antibacterial activity was tested by disk diffusion methods and microdilution methods. Results: Five isolates of endophytic fungi from red and green fruits of C. annuum and bulb of A. cepa have been isolated and the species or the genus have been confirmed. KCM 1 and KCM 2 isolates endophytic fungi from the red fruits of C. annuum were confirmed as Diaporthe sp and Chaetomium globosum. The KCH 1 isolate from green fruits of the C. annuum was confirmed as Trametes hirsuta. The KBM 1 and KBM 2 isolates from A. cepa were confirmed as Schizophyllum commune and Phlebia sp. The highest antioxidant and antibacterial activity was exposed by ethyl acetate extract of S. commune. Conclusion: Five isolates endophytic fungi from C. annuum and A. cepa were Diaporthe sp, C. globosum, T. hirsuta, S. commune and Phlebia sp. Ethyl acetate extract of S.commune gave highest antioxidant and antibacterial activity.
