Biopotentials of Ulva fasciata and Hypnea musciformis collected from the peninsular coast of India

Abstract: 

The secondary metabolites of seaweed Ulva fasciata and Hypnea musciformis,collected form southeast and southwest coast of India. were tested for biotoxicity potential. Both species bowed potent activity in antibacterial, brine shrimp cytotoxicity, larvicidal, antifouling and ichthyotoxicity assays.
