Antimicrobial activity of volatile components and various extracts of the red alga Jania rubens

Abstract: The methanol, dichloromethane, hexane, chloroform and volatile oil extracts of the red alga Jania rubens were tested in vitro for their antimicrobial activity (five Gram-positive, four Gram-negative bacteria and Candida albicans ATCC 10239). GC-MS analysis of the volatile components of J. rubens identified 40 compounds which constituted 77.53% of the total. The volatile components of J. rubens consisted of n-docosane (6.35%), n-eicosane (5.77%) and n-tetratriacontane (5.58%) as major components. The methanol a… Show more

“…Antibacterial activity of volatile compounds obtained through solvent extraction of Spirulina, red and brown algae was reported earlier (Ozdemir et al 2004;Karabay-Yavasoglu et al 2007;Demirel et al 2009), Linalool, terepenols, β-caryophyllene and other terepenoid compounds present in the SCCO 2 extract (Table 1) might also be contributing for the antimicrobial activity along with phenolics and flavonoid compounds.…”
