The investigation of secondary metabolites of selected fungi which is isolated from fresh water marine biosphere were done and studied since years ago. Some bioactive secondary metabolite show some interesting properties such as antibacterial, antiviral and anticancer. But recently, the effect of fungal media upon metabolites production has less been studied on fungi. In this sample, the sample was collected from Selat Melaka sea. To identify the secondary metabolites, the sample was inoculated in the media consisting of PDA and MEA. After several weeks, the growmg fungi were then extracted and subjected to HPLC chromatography. Through the analysis of the result, different media gave different density of secondary metabolites.
