Abstract

152 samples (91 species) of marine algae of French Atlantic coast have been investigated for their antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) activity. For each sample, three extracts, prepared with Et20, then EtOH 99 %, then H20, were tested. The largest proportion of active species occurs in Cystoseiraceae, Bonnemaisoniaceae and Rhodomelaceae.
