ABSTRACT Lontar is a manuscript written on lontar leaves containing Balinese script that is passed down from generation to generation. The presence of fungal activity can damage the lontarbali in storage. Efforts to control fungus on lontarbali need to be done. One of them is by utilizing natural ingredients from plants. Preliminary research obtained 7 types of fungi isolated from 6 different locations in the province of Bali, namely Penicilliumrestricum, Aspergillus fumigatus, Mucorracemosus, Candida krusei, Aspergillus niger, Fusariumsp. and Rhodoterolamucilaginosa. This study aims to determine the class of compounds contained in the extract of SembungDelan leaf (Sphaeranthus indicus L.) and its inhibition on 7 types of fungi that have been isolated from lontar Bali. In vitro testing of the inhibition of the SembungDelanleaf extract on each fungal isolated on lontarbali was carried out by the diffusion well method. The compound group contained in the leaf extract of SembungDelan was known through phytochemical tests. The results showed that all types of fungi isolated in Balinese palm oil were able to be inhibited by crude extracts of Sembungdelan leaves with different barriers. Phytochemical tests are known that the sembungdelan leaves contain alkaloid, terpenoids, phenolic, saponin, flavonoid and tannin compounds.
