Abstract :

 Fresh water algae are potential sources of biologically active compounds with antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities. In the present investigation, the effect of different solvents, including methanol, acetone, petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform, hexane, diethyl ether, ethanol, ethyl acetate were done on Oscillatoriasp isolated from Arasinamakki, near Shishila. Dried algal powder after identification were cold extracted & screened for glycosides,alkaloids,saponins,flavonoids,tannins,terpenoids,phenolics,anthraquinones,cardiac glycosides, etc. The extracts showing good phenolic content were tested for antibacterial activity against fish pathogens namely Aeromonashydrophila.
