Actividad antibacteriana y antifungicida de extractos de algas marinas como indicador para sintetizar compuestos bioactivos de interés terapéutico: una revisión sistemática.

Abstract

The objective of this review is to evaluate the antibacterial and antifungal activity of seaweed extracts and to explore their potential as a source for the synthesis of bioactive compounds with therapeutic applications. The efficacy of different species of seaweed Sargassum muticum, Ulva lactuca, Laminaria digitata and Fucus vesiculosus against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger is analyzed. It was identified that Sargassum muticum extracts (polyphenols and flavonoids) were effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Ulva lactuca extracts (terpenoids and polyphenols) were effective against Escherichia coli and the fungi Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger, and the organic solvents that were used in the chromatography (acetone, ethanol, methanol, chloroform) were the most effective to obtain the bioactive compounds
