Antimicrobial properties of Sargassum spp. (Phaeophyceae) against selected aquaculture pathogens
The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibacterial and anti-fungal activities of four species Sargassum namely: Sargassum polycystum, Sargassum oligocystum, Sargassum crassifolium and Sargassum cristaefolium collected along the coastal areas of Diora-Zinungan Sta. Ana Cagayan, Philippines. Extracts of powdered seaweeds were prepared using sequential extraction with different organic solvents in order to increasing the polarity (Ethanol, n-hexane, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate and
