Chromatographic studies have been carried out on cyclea peltata Diels and Cissampelos pareira Linn. The results substantiate that cyclea peltata Diels can be substituted for cissampelos pareira in ayurvedic formulations.

general toxicity, antiproliferative, antibacterial and antioxidant activities of caulerpa peltata j.v.lamouroux (caulerpaceae) collected from oman sea were investigated. dried, ground alga was soxhlet-extracted with hexane, dichloromethane and methanol successively. the methanol extract was subjected to vacuum liquid chromatography (vlc) fractionation on silica gel using a step gradient of diff...

Caulerpa racemosa is a tropical green alga introduced into the Mediterranean probably as an immigrant from the Red Sea. This study evaluated the modifications caused by C. racemosa invasion on the structure of the benthic macroalgal community near Leghorn (northwestern Mediterranean). To achieve this objective, we studied invasion by C. racemosa of algal assemblages on 2 different substrata by ...

General toxicity, antiproliferative, antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Caulerpa peltata J.V.Lamouroux (Caulerpaceae) collected from Oman Sea were investigated. Dried, ground alga was Soxhlet-extracted with hexane, dichloromethane and methanol successively. The methanol extract was subjected to vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) fractionation on silica gel using a step gradient of diff...

The results of our previous investigations on extracts of selected marine algae showed that Caulerpa peltata and Padina gymnospora had more promising antiproliferative and antioxidant activities than Gelidiella acerosa and Sargassum wightii. Based on these results, the more active chloroform extract of C. peltata and ethyl acetate extract of P. gymnospora were further analyzed for their constit...

The biodiversity assessment of different taxa of the genus Caulerpa is of interest from the context of morphological plasticity, invasive potential of some species and biotechnological and pharmacological applications. The present study investigated the identification and molecular phylogeny of different species of Caulerpa occurring along the Indian coast inferred from tufA, rbcL, 18S rDNA and...

Recent morphological and genetic studies on the Caulerpa racemosa (Forsskål) J. Agardh complex have demonstrated that three taxa occur in the Mediterranean Sea. One of them, the ‘invasive variety’, provisionally regarded as close to C. racemosa var. occidentalis J. Agardh, is currently spreading spectacularly throughout the Mediterranean. On the basis of new morphological and molecular studies ...

nvestigations on indigenous and non-indigenous invasive flora fauna of a certain geographical area are always important to assess their impact native biodiversity control spread by making conservation strategies protect biodiversity. In this study, we have encountered overwhelming growth six seaweed species, Caulerpa racemosa, C. serrulata, sertularioides, taxifolia, peltata, Halimeda opuntia t...
