description Penicillium species research has progressed far beyond their ability to produce secondary metabolites with potential biological applications, particularly as antimicrobial agents. In this work, Penicillium bilaiae EWB-3 was isolated from electronic waste and identified using morphological and molecular (ITS and β-tubulin regions) methods. For 15 days, Penicillium bilaiae EWB-3 was grown into Czapek Yeast Broth using an orbital shaker. Finally, the secondary metabolites in this strain’s filtrates were extracted using ethyl acetate. The agar well diffusion method tested this crude extract for antimicrobial activity. The Penicillium bilaiae EWB-3 extract exhibited strong antimicrobial potential against all tested microorganisms, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. With diameters of 31, 26, and 25 mm, the largest inhibition zones were observed against C. albicans, S. aureus, and E. faecalis, respectively. The presence of 24 active compounds was revealed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the crude extract of Penicillium bilaiae EWB-3. The findings suggest that the secondary metabolite extract of Penicillium bilaiae EWB-3 could be a promising active pharmaceutical component.
