Description Not Available
Microalgal lethality bioassay was developed to detect the toxic profile of organic extract of marine organisms and their possible
significance in the context of antifouling activities. Organic extracts of seaweeds, Ulva fasciata and Hypnea musciformis,
sponges, Dendrilla nigra, Axinella donnai and Clathria gorgonoides and a holothurian Holothuria scabra were used for the
detection of microalgal lethality potential. The microalgae such as Isochrysis galbana, Chlorella salina and Nanochloropsis
sp. were used for the assay. The findings revealed that H. scabra contained toxic secondary metabolites, which might have
the reason for its potent antifouling activity. Invariably all extracts inhibited the growth of microalgae at various concentrations
except H. musciformis and A. donnani, which induce the growth of microalgae to certain extent. Based on the present
findings, it could be inferred that the ‘microalgal lethality bioassay’ could be used as a primary screening assay system for the
detection of biotoxic and antifouling agents from marine organisms.
