Abstract :Antibacterial activities of the methanolic extracts of Stypopodium schimperi insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kützing); Verlaque and Boudouresque, Halopteris filicina insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Grateloup); Kützing, Dictyota dichotoma insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hudson); J.V.Lamouroux, Gracilaria bursa-pastoris insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(S.G.Gmelin); P.C.Silva, Ulva intestinalis Linnaeus species from the Iskenderun Bay, Turkey against Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhimurium and Proteus vulgaris were evaluated by using the microdilution method. Results of the study showed that all of the extracts had an antimicrobial effect on the tested bacteria. A minimum inhibitor concentration and minimum bactericidal concentrations of the extracts ranged from >125 to <0.39 mg mL-1. Furthermore, this is the first report on antibacterial effects of the methanolic extracts of S. schimperi insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kützing); Verlaque and Boudouresque and G. bursa-pastoris insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(S.G.Gmelin); P.C.Silva species. The present findings revealed that all studied seaweed species could act as a natural source of bioactive compounds for the treatment of infectious diseases.
