Antimicrobial potential of the marine intertidal sponge, Ircinia fusca from west coast of India
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biological Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
In vitro antimicrobial screening of marine sponge (Porifera) Ircinia fusca collected from west coast of India, against selected bacteria and fungi was conducted in this study. Crude sponge extracts of the marine organism Ircinia fusca demonstrated activity against eight microbes tested. The extracts showing good antimicrobial activity are undergoing further analysis to identify the active constituents.
