“…This alga is a very abundant biomass in nature. Recent findings evidenced that marine algae possess antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antitumor-potentials, among numerous others (Ibraheem et al, 2012;Abdel-Raouf et al, 2013and Ibraheem et al, 2016. Marine algae have recently received significant attention for their potential as natural antioxidants, which may be arising from carotenoids, tocopherols and polyphenols.…”

T HE PRESENT study focused on the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using the ethanolic extract of the green alga Ulva fasciata (green algae). The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectra, TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) and FT-IR analysis. The absorption spectra of the formed AgNPs was observed at 350 nm, while the FT-IR spectrum revealed a presence of bands at about 2076.96 and 1840.72 cm -1. On the other hand, TEM analysis , exhibited spherical and rod shaped AgNPs with size range of 2 to 200 nm. The chemical constituents, fatty acids, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, terpenoids, aromatic compounds of studied algal extracts were identified by GC-MS. The Gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the green alga Ulva fasciata ethanolic extract showed a presence of fatty acids, alkaloids, phenolic, terpenoid and aromatic compounds. Potential activity test of the AgNPs formed by Ulva fasciata ethanolic extract against the nephrotoxicity on albino rats revealed good positive results indicated the preventive effects of the disease by using of Ulva fasciata AgNPs.

“…Padmakumar and Ayyakannu (1997) screened 80 species of marine algae for antifungal activities but did not find a single algal extract active against A. flavus. Shanmugam et al (2010) (Ibraheem et al, 2012). Likewise, Rattaya et al (2014) reported no inhibition against Aspergillus niger under the same genus.…”

ABSTRACTÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Marine macroalgae have been used as medicines or drug sources for a great many years, stretching back to the era of folk medicines. Algae have been extensively used in the traditional medicines of maritime nations for treatment of goitre, cancer, hypertension, cough and other diseases. The present work was carried out to find out the antifungal activity of the seaweed Turbinaria conoides collected from Mandapam coastal regions of Tamilnadu. The extracts were tested against Candida albicans, Candida parapsilopsis, Fusarium sp, Aspergillus flavus , Asergillus fumigatus. The hexane, chloroform and ethanolic extracts showed a well profound inhibitory activity against Candida albicans and Candida parapsilopsis. No inhibitory activity was found at Fusarium sp, Aspergillus flavus , Asergillus fumigates under chloroform and ethanolic extracts.Key words: Medicine, antifungal, cancer, Candida albicans, diseases.

“…Previous studies on antimicrobial (mainly antibacterial with little antifungal) characterizations of the Egyptian seaweeds have been primarily focused on the most cosmopolitan and well identified species, e.g. Cystoseira compressa, C. myrica, Dictyota dichotoma, Hydroclathrus clathratus, Padina pavonica, Sargassum hornschuchii, S. latifolium, S. ramifolium, S. vulgare and Turbinaria ornata as members of brown macroalgae, Acanthophora spicifera, Corallina officinalis, Galaxaura elongata, Jania rubens, Liagora farinosa, Pterocladia capillacea, and Sarcodiotheca furcata species of Rhodophyta, and Caulerpa racemosa, Codium tomentosum, Ulva fasciata and U. lactuca belonging to Chlorophyta (e.g., Ibraheem et al, 2012;El-Sheekh et al, 2014;Fathy et al, 2017;Ibraheem et al, 2017).…”

M YCOSES and plant fungal pathogens are limiting factors highly affecting public health and crop production. Some fungal strains have been documented to be resistant to the commonly used drugs. Therefore, finding out new and pivotal antifungal drugs is becoming a global priority. Herein, we evaluated the in vitro antifungal activities of different crude polar (methanol and ethyl acetate) and non-polar (chloroform and petroleum ether) extracts of the mostly untapped brown seaweed Hormophysa cuneiformis (order Fucales, Phaeophyceae), in the Egyptian coastal waters, against eight pathogenic fungi: Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, Candida albicans and Trichosporonas ahii (as human pathogens), and Alternaria alternata, Cladosporium herbarum, Fusarium oxysporum and Penicillium digitatum (as plant pathogens). The agar well diffusion assay was applied. Our findings showed that the chloroform extract only exhibited a potential antifungal activity against all tested fungal isolates, particularly T. asahii, C. albicans, A. fumigatus and C. herbarum, while the other extracts had relatively no remarkable effects. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranged between 0.78 and 6.25µg.ml-1 and these values are very close to those of the standard antifungal drug amphotericin B (0.63-5µg.ml-1). GC-MS analysis of the crude chloroform extract revealed 45 different bioactive compounds, mainly including 18 different species of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (71.48%) and some essential oils. The major constituents were arachidonic (C20:4
