Hexane, chloroform, methanol, chloroform: methanol (2:1 v/v) and petroleum ether extracts of Turbinaria conoides from the coast of Mandapam were tested in vitro for their antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis with the disc diffusion method. Petroleum ether was the best solution for extracting the ...

OBJECTIVE In vitro antioxidant activities of three selected Indian seaweeds viz., Halimeda tuna (H. tuna), Turbinaria conoides (T. conoides) and Gracilaria foliifera (G. foliifera) were evaluated. METHODS Total antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, and reducing power of crude methanol and diethyl ether extracts were determined. RESULTS Total phenolic content and total antioxidant ac...

The coastal water of Aboru village is one site with high diversity marine biological resources such as brown algae. purpose this study was to determine the morphological character algae Turbinaria from Village. procedure consists field collection, and observations in laboratory. characters observed were presence/absence rhizoid/holdfast, cauloid/stipe, phylloid/blades, pyrenoid/vesicle (air bub...

One of the riches earth that can be found in sea is brown macroalgae (seaweed). Brown has various pro-perties such as having antibacterial and antifungal properties. type commonly Indonesia Turbinaria conoides. T.conoides been studied for its many benefits, including relieving fever children, insect repellent, fertilizer, also an agent. The components extract were investiga-ted to able inhibit ...

brown alga, turbinaria conoides was successively extracted with n-hexane, cyclohexane, methanol and ethanol:water (1:1). the extracts were evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities by disc diffusion method. minimal inhibitory concentration was determined for active extracts by broth dilution method. the antiviral activity and cytotoxicity of the extracts were tested in human embryon...

Spent biomass of different seaweeds such as Sargassum wightii, Turbinaria conoides, Padina tetrastomata and Ulva lactuca were evaluated for the nutritional benefits in aqua feeds. Basic nutritional value, of seaweeds contains a number of pigments, defensive and storage compounds, and secondary metabolites that could have beneficial effects in farmed fish. Only a small fraction of algal species ...

Turbinaria conoides (J. Agardh) Kutzing ,(Phaeophyceae) a marine seaweed, and Marsilea quadrifolia Linn. (Marsileaceae) an aquatic fern, were tested for activity against Tobacco necrotic virus (TNV) and bacteria (antimicrobial). Local lesion method was adopted and half leaf comparisons were made in cotyledonary leaves of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba Taub.(Linn.). Extracts of the experimental plants ...

Improvement of eco-friendly procedures for the nanoparticles synthesis is the growing in to the field of nanotechnology. In this report we used the extract of marine brown seaweed Turbinaria conoides for the silver nanoparticles synthesis is the new one, cost effective and environmentally favorable. The surface plasmon resonance band positioned at 420 nm for silver nanoparticles was characteriz...
