The Uses of Chlorella Vulgaris as Antimicrobial Agent and as a Diet: the Presence of Bio-active Compounds which Caters the Vitamins, Minerals in General

Abstract

The extracted and dried green micro algae by using solvents Acetone, Ethanol and Chloroform assy is tested to know its efficiency against four bacterial strains under the cultured condions by adopting the standard agar disc diffusion technique. These agar plates are incubated at 37°C for 24 hour duration with four test bacterial strains in 10ml each of Acetone,Ethanol and Chloroform with extracted green micro algae. These extracts exhibits optimal effects on inhibitory efficiency. The observed highest inhibition zone zone is 13mm in Chlorella Vulgaris extracted with Ethanol against klebsilla sp.,. The peroformed preliminary phytochemical analysis of this dried algal sample as per the Harborne methode reveals that this assay withhold some of the valuble bioactive compounds. It is flavanoids, tannin, phenolic compounds, terpenes, cardiac glycosides, saponins and carbohydrates. The substanical evidence of the presence of these seven bioactive compounds revealed that Chlorella vulgar is having major role as a useful precarusor to obtain various bioactive compounds. This algael specices exhibits its maximum inhibition property with Klebsilla sp. This enables to discover some of new derivatives with more investigation about its feasilbility of finding new drugs by the application of procdures adopted in drug discovery and designing. The drugs derived from these algae species will find some specific application to curtile the growth of the bacterias which results the control of Vector infections without any side effects in a more specific manner.

Chlorella vulgaris and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: Effective Antioxidant, Antibacterial and Anticancer Mediators

“…Therefore in C. vulgaris among two phenolic compounds, flavonoid may be a major contributor of antioxidant capacities. In a study by Syed et al [25] the chloroform extract of C. vulgaris showed minimum zone of inhibition with zone diameter of 15, 13, 12 mm for E. coli, Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp.…”

Effect of growth conditions and extraction solvents on enhancement of antimicrobial activity of the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris

“…In the last few decades, researchers have recognized the increasing importance and value of microalgae as a potential source of novel antimicrobial agents (20,21). Several studies documented antibacterial activity of Chlorella species (22)(23)(24). However, few attempts to manipulate the antimicrobial activity based on the culture conditions were performed.…”

Growth and secondary metabolites content of chloroform extract of Chlorella sp. and Chlorella sorokiniana cultured on chicken broiler waste media

“…Chlorella sorokiniana contains phenolic compounds that have antioxidant activity (Azaman et al 2017). Chloroform extract of C. vulgaris contains saponins (Adhoni et al 2016;Syed et al 2015), and have antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium, Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus, Salmonella paratyphi B, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Aerobacter aerogenes, Candida albicans, and Aspergillus niger but it showed no growth inhibition against Escherichia coli (Adhoni et al 2016). The GC-MS analysis of chloroform extract of C. sorokiniana showed the presence of lauric acid, cyclotetradecane, butyl rubber, myristic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, valeric acid, ethyl palmitate, lignoceryl alcohol, and perfluoroacetic acid (Adhoni et al 2016).…”
