Abstract
The present study explores the pharmaceutical potentials of marine bacterial strains isolated from the surface of seaweeds (macroalgae) collected from Kanyakumari coast of Tamilnadu. Totally six different seaweeds namely Chaetomorpha indica, Ulva fasciata (Red algae), Sargassum wightii, Padina gymnosperma (Brown algae) and Hypnea musciformis, Gracilaria edulis(Red algae) were collected and the total epiphytic bacterial isolates (CFU/g) on the surface of each seaweed species were assessed.
