AUMA-020 JF - Journal of Pharmaceutical and Sciences JA - JPS VL - 6 IS - 1 SE - Original Articles DO - 10.36490/journal-jps.com.v6i1.21 UR - https://journal-jps.com/new/index.php/jps/article/view/21 SP - 46-51 AB - <p>In this study was aimed at identifying active substances that can be used as antibacterial agents. To reach this target, different solvent extracts (n-hexane and methanol) of microalgae strain <em>Scenedesmus sp</em>. AUMA-020 were examined. Phytochemical screening of n-hexane extract from microalgae strain <em>Scenedesmus sp.</em> AUMA-020 showed the presence of terpenoids and saponins, while methanol extracts contained flavonoids, phenolics, steroids, terpenoins and saponins. N-hexane extract has strong antibacterial activity compared to methanol extract. Both extracts isolates showed no antibacterial activity against <em>Escherichia coli</em> bacteria. In conclusion, the studied microalgae strain <em>Scenedesmus sp.</em> AUMA-020 can be considered as a potential natural source of bioactive compounds with antibacterial activity.</p> ER -
