Studies on ecological phytochemical and Antimicrobial antioxidant activities on some Seaweeds of visakhapatnam

Abstract

Because of the evolving resistance of microorganisms to existing antibiotics, there is an increasing need for new antibiotics. Since seaweeds offer particularly rich newlinesource of bioactive molecules, the present study was carried out to investigate the antimicrobial potentiality of the marine algae, two species of brown algae namely newlineSargassum ilicifolium, Padina tetrastromatica and one red algae Gracilaria corticata collected from different coastal regions. For microbiological testing of the newlineseaweed extracts, agar well diffusion method was used. newline
