Antibacterial activity of Cyanobacteria and its extract against intestinal pro–biotics system

Ganesh Ramesh Pawar, Deepak Kumar

Abstract :

 Cyanobacteria, the blue green algae are widely distributed throughout the world. It can be harmful if consumed through drinking water. During this study, the antibacterial activity of cyanobacteria against the pro–biotic system (useful bio–flora of animal gut) is tested and observed. The pro–bacteria are reported to cure many diseases originating due to stomach infection. The digestion of food is the source for the energy; if pro–biotic bacterial system is destroyed the effect would lead to the generation of many digestion related problems. The current work focuses on the antibacterial activity of cyanobacteria against probiotics, if used in the wild form as well as the solubility based extracted product. The destruction of gut bio–flora due to the intake of drinking water is the area of concern.
