Abstract

Bioactive Compounds Derived from Microalgae Showing Antimicrobial Activities

Swapnil Sanmukh,Benedict Bruno,Udhaya Ramakrishnan,Krishna Khairnar*,Sandhya Swaminathan,Waman Paunikar

Microalgae have been explored for their bioactive compounds with promising applications encompassing
antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antialgal activities. Considering the present status of widely used treatment therapies and their limitations to tackle their adverse effects, the application of bioactive compounds derived from algae will prove beneficial and much more effective as compared with traditional treatment methods. Due to the emerging infectious diseases, viral infections (epidemic and pandemic) and raise in antibiotic resistant bacteria, there is an urgent need for development of alternative treatment therapies against infectious diseases. Present work provides a brief introduction about the algal bioactive compounds and their activities against various pathogens.
