Abstract :
In this study two species of marine algae Ulva lactuca and Enteromorpha intestinalis were treated with three different types of solvents such as chloroform, methanol and mixture of chloroform and methanol (1:2). The antibacterial activities were carried out by the agar well diffusion method. The extracts of U. lactuca and E. intestenalis showed a significant capacity of antibacterial activity against all the tested bacteria strains (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsilla pneumonia and E. coli). According to the results, the highest activities were seen in the extracts of U. lactuca and E. intestenalis against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa respectively. The chloroform extracts generally showed more potent antibacterial activity than methanol and chloroform and methanol mixture (1:2) extract.
