Description 238-242
Non-axenic
unialgal cultures of eleven marine diatoms were screened against 13 pathogenic
bacteria and 8 pathogenic fungi by agar disc diffusion method. The lipophilic
and aqueous extracts of 6 diatoms which showed high antibacterial

activity were separately
screened against the same bacterial strains and two diatoms which showed high
antifungal activity were screened against the same fungal strains. Gram
positive bacteria, Aspergillus niger and Cryptococcus
neoformans were the most susceptible pathogens. The diatom Thallassiothrix
frauenfeldii showed the highest activity. Lipophilic extracts were highly
active against the pathogens tested.
