Comparative Phytochemical Studies and Antibacterial Activity of Green and Brown Seaweeds Extract of Enteromorpha Compressa and Padina Pavonica

Abstract

Seaweeds are plant like organisms and potential renewable resources in the marine environment. The present study was performed to investigate the phytochemical constituents of seaweeds of Padina Pavonica and Enteromorpha Compressa such as alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, phenol, saponins, xanthoproteins, amino acids, quinones, glycosides, sugar and coumarins. In this study we estimated phenol, alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, saponins, anthraquinone, sugar and coumarins and determine the Quantitative and Physico chemical analysis of seaweed extracts of Padina Pavonica and Enteromorpha Compressa. This study shows that the different seaweed extract of Padina Pavonica and Enteromorpha Compressa against various human pathogens such as Klebsiella, Salmonella, S.aureus and Proteus.
