Overview

Assessment reveals antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties in cyanobacterial extracts, suggesting potential novel treatments.

Key Points

  • Cyanobacterial extracts exhibit antibacterial activity against Gram positive bacteria and some Gram negative bacteria.
  • The acetonic extract of strain CY4 showed moderate antialgal activity against Chlamydomonas sp., supporting its potential use.
  • Cytotoxicity testing revealed methanolic extracts from strain CY1 and CY2 had an IC50 of 0.625 mg/ml against Vero cells, highlighting their efficacy.
  • Findings suggest that cyanobacteria can be further investigated as a source for new antibacterial and anticancer agents.
