Abstract:-The seaweed species (Enteromorpha compressa, Enteromorpha intestinalis, Caulerpa scalpelliformis, Caulerpa racemosa, Chaetomorpha linum, Gracilaria foliifera, Hypnea valentiae) were collected from Gulf of Mannar, Tuticorin coast and the samples were air dried: Six different solvents (hexane, diethyl ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol, acetone and methanol) were used for the extraction of seaweeds. The antibacterial activity of seaweed extracts was checked against six human pathogens. The acetone extract of Caulerpa scalpelliformis showed broad spectrum antibacterial activity when compared to other seaweed extracts. Acetone extract of Caulerpa scalpelliformis was further fractionated and purified using chromatographic separation techniques using bioassay guided fractionation and the active fraction purity was checked by HPLC.
Keywords:-Seaweeds, Antibacterial activity, Gulf of Mannar, Caulerpa scalpelliformis, Natural product. |
