  The lipids of five marine algae species, i.e., two from the Red sea, Rhodophyta (Laurencia popillose, Galaxoura cylindriea), and three from the Mediterranean sea (Chlorophyta, Ulva fasciata; and Phaeophyta, Dilophys fasciola and Taonia atomaria) were evaluated as anticancer, antiviral, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Total lipid content was varied significantly, and the values ranged from 0.66 to 2.20%. The highest lipid content was found in U. fasciata (2.2% dw). Among fatty acids of all algae species, palmitic was dominating fatty acid and C14:0, C17:0, C18:0, C18:1, C20:4 were presented in significant levels. The polyunsaturated fatty acids C18:2, C22:5 and C20:3 were identified in most algal species. The biological activities of algal crude lipids were assessed in vitro. The crude lipids at a concentration of 10 μg/ml inhibited HSV-1 virus growth (in vitro) and % inhi.. View More»
