Abstract

The seaweeds (Sargassum wightii, Sargassum muticum, Ulva lactuca and Ulva fasciata) were screened against potential harmful pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumonia. Chloroform, methanol, ethanol, acetone and butanol are the solvents used to extract the seaweeds. Eight different phytochemical compounds were present in the seaweeds. The prominent activity was observed Sargassum wightii (22 mm) followed by Ulva fasciata (18 mm), Ulva lactuca (15 mm) and Sargassum muticum (10 mm). The compound were subjected to evaluate their larvicidal potential against Aedes aegypti and Anopheles.
