[b][/b]Evaluation of antimicrobial activity and phytochemical screening of Gelidium acerosa
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Seaweeds has become a recognized potential natural product in pharmaceutical industries. The Gelidium acerosa contain large amount of valuable phytochemicals like sapononins, flavinoids and alkaloids etc., which are known for its medicinal uses. The preparations of the seaweeds are also useful for the common ailments, includes dysentery, hypertension, urinary tract infection, and some other microbial infections among people. The extracts of seaweeds are prepared with three different solvents like ethanol, methanol and acetone and tested against bacteria like staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus,Micrococcus luteus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Psudomononas aeruginosa, fungs like Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigates,C. albicans, C.tropicalis. In this study Ethanolic extract showed a varying degree of inhibition to the growth of tested organism, than acetone and methanolic extracts, presences of phytochemical Gelidium acerosa is confirmed
