An investigation on the antimicrobial activity of shrimp exoskeleton extracted glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus

The present study was aimed to extract the Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) from shrimp head waste and carry out analysis for any antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus. are linear acidic polysaccharides with repeating disaccharide units. GAGs important cell signaling, which controls a wide range of metabolic activities including regulation growth, promotion adhesion, wound repair, proliferation, anti-coagulation activity. In study, heads were washed, dried pulverized. From this pulverized waste, extraction GAG protein achieved. total content in biological sample estimated. Antimicrobial complex accomplished by using Minimal Inhibitory Concentration, Bactericidal Well Diffusion Method E. It observed that aureus has highest antibacterial when compared coli.
