Abstract

The plant kingdom is rich in bioactive natural compounds, and extracts from various plants, as well as red, green, and brown macro and micro algae, can be used. is one of the largest filamentous green-alga genus. The majority of Cladophora species can be found all over the world, in both temperate and tropical climates. They are rich in secondary metabolites. The dried algal mass was crushed into a fine powder and acetone extract was used for phytochemical screening. Phytochemical analysis showed the presence of various secondary metabolites like alkaloids, alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, and proteins. Antibacterial activity of against showed positive results.

Keywords: Cladophora glomerata, Phytochemical screening, Antibacterial activity
