Journal Title: Asian J of Pharm Sci & Tech - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
ABSTRACT The sample for the study constitutes Sargassum wightii from brown seaweed phaeophytae. The antifungal activity was studied from the methanol extracts of macro algae Sargassum wightii against few funguses like Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, Cunninghamella bertholetiae, aspergillus flavus, Mucor hiemalis and Trichophyton violaceum.
