GC-MS analysis of bioactive components in six different crude extracts from the Soft Coral (Sinularia maxim) collected from Ras Mohamed, Aqaba Gulf, Red Sea, Egypt

Abstract

Many marine organisms have been used as sources of medicines and primary products (Hasaballah and El-Naggar 2017). The Red Sea and its two gulfs (Aqaba and Suez) is one of the most important storehouses of global marine biodiversity (El-Naggar et al., 2017 and Mona et al., 2019).Aquatic organisms are considered as a source for huge numbers of bioactive compounds and secondary metabolites that attract the attentions of biologists, pharmacist and chemists as a result of their potential activities as anticancer, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-fungal and so on (El-Naggar and Hasaballah, 2018; Elnagar et al., 2018). They are facing many of environmental challenges such as competition on space and nutrition, predation and self-defense etc., all these challenges stimulate aquatic organisms to produce secondary metabolites to cope it (El-Damhougy et al., 2017a; Ibrahim et al.,

Impact of Seaweed Liquid Extract Biostimulant on Growth, Yield, and Chemical Composition of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus)

“…Marine aquatic organisms are an important source of bioactive compounds [57,58]. In the current study, concerning the GC-MS analysis [13,59,60], the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) mass spectral library identified nine compounds in TAM ® (Figure 1).…”

“…This compound consists mainly of boron and silicon, which might be beneficial for plant growth because foliar applications of boron and/or silicon compounds have been found to reduce infections of powdery mildew on cucumber [32] and to improve plant growth and production [30,31]. Therefore, TAM, due to its potent bioactive compounds, was found to contain many beneficial compounds not only for plant foliar applications [57]. These identified phytochemical compounds in TAM are bioactive compounds, and they can also be found in plants.…”

Potential Applications of Native Cyanobacterium Isolate (Arthrospira platensis NIOF17/003) for Biodiesel Production and Utilization of Its Byproduct in Marine Rotifer (Brachionus plicatilis) Production

“…The aquatic organisms are a sustainable source of PUFA, MUFA, SFAs, palmitic acid, and fatty acid methyl esters [74,75]. Among all aquatic organisms, microalgal cells are the most sustainable, attractive, and promising source [1][2][3][17][18][19][20]69,72,73].…”

Impact of Commercial Seaweed Liquid Extract (TAM®) Biostimulant and Its Bioactive Molecules on Growth and Antioxidant Activities of Hot Pepper (Capsicum annuum)

“…The effective application is the use of biostimulants in the form of mixtures of phytochemicals that could induce plant growth and yield while they improve protection against biotic and abiotic stresses, without any drawbacks [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Marine organisms are rich in phytochemical biomolecules with diverse biological activities [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. In this context, seaweeds would have been wielded as biostimulants [ 5 , 6 , 15 , 16 ].…”
