The active principles of brown alga, Turbinaria conoides (J.Agardh) Kuetz. (Sargassaceae) was extracted with n-hexane, cyclohexane, methanol and ethanol-water (1:1) and investigated for acute toxicity and antipyretic activity. Phytochemical analysis of the extracts revealed the presence of steroids, flavonoids and reducing sugars. Acute toxicity study was performed in Wistar rats after administ...

Silver and gold nanoparticles were synthesized using an aqueous extract of the seaweed Turbinaria conoides and their antibiofilm activity against marine biofilm forming bacteria is reported here. The UV-Vis spectra showed the characteristics SPR absorption band for Ag NPs at 421 and for Au NPs at 538 nm. Further, the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using FT-IR, XRD, FESEM, EDX, and...

The microbial ecology within the rhizosphere of Tylenchulus semipenetrans-infected Citrus L. trees was examined. Sixty bacterial strains were obtained from roots infected and eggs T. semipenetrans. Among these some agar plates two nematophagous fungi, Dactylellina gephyropaga (Drechsler) Ying Yang & Xing Z. Liu Arthrobotrys conoides Drechsler. Bacterial identified using 16S rDNA, gyrA rpoB gene...
