the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of methanol and acetone extracts of three marine algae, including hypnea hamulosa, gracilaria corticata and enteromorpha intestinalis wereinvestigated.antioxidant activities were determined by means of total antioxidant capacity, total phenolic compounds, dpph radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power. antibacterial activity w...

We tested the response of Enteromorpha intestinalis to fluctuating reduced salinity regimes which may occur in coastal estuaries due to both natural and anthropogenic influences. In a fully crossed two factor experiment, we subjected E. intestinalis to 0, 5, 15 and 25 psu water enriched with nutrients for 1-, 5-, 11- and 23-day periods. Each period was followed by 24 h of exposure to 25 psu (am...

Macroalgae are considered as primary producers in ecosystem food chain. This study investigated spatial and temporal variation of three species of macroalgae namely, Laurencia caspica (red macroalga) Enteromorpha intestinalis and Cladophora glomerata (green macroalgae) on the hard substrates of the southern Caspian Sea coasts and their relation with environmental factors. Seasonal sampling pref...

Freshly dried seaweeds are being extensively consumed, particularly by peoples living in coastal areas. Enteromorpha algae nutritious and low-calorie food rich essential Amino acids, Fatty Vitamins, Dietary fiber Resistant protein of humans. E. prolifera has many nutritional compounds polysaccharides that have attracted extensive interest due to their numerous biological activities. The current...

The ocean consists of versatile domain lives which can be exploited for human health benefits because diversified secondary metabolites. Seaweeds, generally called macroalgae, are commonly found in the coastal region Bay Bengal. But none them were investigated properly their biological activities. Hence, this study was performed to investigate antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic and membrane ...
