Hypersaline Microalgae – A Prolific Source of Bioactive Compounds
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Microalgae are an important untapped aquatic resource offering novel secondary and discovery of new drugs. Microalgae produce a wide variety of toxins and other biomedically interesting bioactive compounds. The present study was intended to investigate the phytochemical composition of the hypersaline microalgae Amphora sp using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. GC-MS analysis reveals the presence of eleven bioactive compounds. The results provided insights into the presence of several pharmacologically active constituents.
