Investigation of phytochemical constituents in Spirulina fusiformis for antibacterial activity
Journal Title: National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 11
Abstract
Background: Spirulina fusiformis provides a wide range of health benefits, so a major percentage of the population in developing countries depends on S. fusiformis due to its nutritional value. Aim and Objective: To examine the phytochemical constituents in Spirulina fusiformis for antibacterial activity. Materials and Methods: This study was a laboratory observational, phytochemical analysis, and antibacterial assay of S. fusiformis was carried out. Results: Ethanol and chloroform extract showed a maximum inhibitory effect against all species chosen for this study. Conclusion: S. fusiformis sample found to contain certain phytochemicals in higher ratio and a wider range of protein and amino acids. It also possesses good antibacterial activity against various organisms.
