Bioactivity of Dodecanoic Acid Extracted from Geitlerinema sp. TRV57

Abstract: Aim/Background: Imbalance in oxidant and antioxidant leads to stress. Increased consumption of exogenous antioxidants helps neutralizing the stress thus protects cells from The study focused on isolation nutraceutical compound, dodecanoic acid marine cyanobacteria Geitlerinema sp. TRV57. Materials Methods: Various solvents were used extract acid. ability neutralize was studied by various assay. Results: GCMS analyses these extracts revealed presence more percentage saturated fatty acids with being major fraction. These have exhibited appreciable antibacterial, anti-apoptotic activity which can be attributed Conclusion: This indicates sp TRV57 as a promising agent for emollient preparation. Key words: Fatty acid, Cyanobacteria, Geitlerinema, Dodecanoic Bioactivities.
