in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of two hawaiian marine limu: ulva fasciata (chlorophyta) and gracilaria salicornia (rhodophyta).the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of two hawaiian marine algae (ulva fasciata and gracilaria salicornia) were evaluated. ethanolic extracts of these two algae exhibited intracellular reactive 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline)-6-sulfonic radical, nitric oxide, superoxide radical, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities. in addition to the antioxidant activity these algae possessed appreciable antimicrobial activity and total phenolic contents. the ...201021091257
sterols from the red algae, gracilaria salicornia and hypnea flagelliformis, from persian gulf.two of the important algae from persian gulf are gracilaria salicornia and hypnea flageliformis (rhodophyta). antibacterial, antifungal, and cytotoxic effects of the mentioned algae have been presented in the previous studies.201121716930
two-stage hydrolysis of invasive algal feedstock for ethanol fermentation.the overall goal of this work was to develop a saccharification method for the production of third generation biofuel (i.e. bioethanol) using feedstock of the invasive marine macroalga gracilaria salicornia. under optimum conditions (120 °c and 2% sulfuric acid for 30 min), dilute acid hydrolysis of the homogenized invasive plants yielded a low concentration of glucose (4.1 mm or 4.3 g glucose/kg fresh algal biomass). however, two-stage hydrolysis of the homogenates (combination of dilute acid h ...201121205190
evaluation of in vitro anti-leishmanial activity of some brown, green and red algae from the persian gulf.leishmaniasis is a protozoan parasitic disease which is transmitted by the female phlebotomus sand fly and is prevalent in four continents.the first-choice treatment for the leishmaniasis is pentavalent antimonials, which are potentially toxic and often ineffective and use of them exhibit therapeutic failure. these pharmaceutical problems point towards the need to develop novel chemotherapeutic agents. seaweeds are considered as source of bioactive metabolites characterized by a broad spectrum o ...201121796865
