Description :
The chemical composition and antioxidant properties of Gracilaria corticata ethanolic extract were examined. Six components were identified in the extract by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and Hexadecanoic acid and its ethyl ester accounted for 52.38% of total identified components. Furthermore, we assessed the extract antimicrobial activity using different bacterial and fungal strains. Ethanolic extract of Gracilaria corticata was found effective against bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Fungi Aspergillus oryzae moderate effect. The study reveals the bioactive potential of Gracilaria corticata and its bioactive potential for the production of valuable therapeutics and other related compounds of economic viability and social accessibility.
