Abstract:The spectrum of antibacterial activities shown by fatty acid fractions of different microalgae, depending on the
unsaturation pattern and chain length are still need to be explored. This study provides information on the fatty acid
composition of three microalgae, Chlorella marina, Nannochloropsis occulata and Chaetoceros affinis along with their
antibacterial activities against selected clinical and fish pathogens. PUFA content of fatty acid fractions followed the
order N. occulata > C. affinis > C. mar… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
