Reviewer 2 Report

1. The English of the manuscript is very poor, the author should polish the English.

2. The author should rewrite the Abstract, because it is difficult to understand.

3. The 23 bacterial should all identified the genus.

4. “Two endophytes, Aloe I4 and Aloe I3-I5 from Aloe vera exhibited greater 17 potency, with inhibitory zones of 15-, and 20 mm diameter, respectively.” I can not find this content in the other parts of manuscript except abstract. Besides, the author should add the antibacterial activity all 23 bacterial. The author should also add the concentration and positive control.

5. Figures 2 and 3 is not clearly, the author should change the pictures. And I am not find the Figure 1.

6. The format of the References should revised, such as 3, 12, 16, 21.

The English of the manuscript is very poor, the author should polish the English.
