Description
Summary:Methanol and diethy ether-derived extracts from marine benthie algae in Talin Bay, Batangas were screened for antimicrobial activity using the agar disc diffusion method. The macrobenthic algae used were 4,7, and 8 species belonging to Division Phaeophyta, Rhodophyta, and Chlorophyta, respectively. The extracts were tested against 12 microorganisms, namely four Gram(+) bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus cereus) four Gram(-) bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter aerogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and four fungi (Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Aspergillus niger, Geotrichium candidum and Candida albicans).The extracts showed no antimicrobial activity to the 12 test organisms used.
