Abstract :

Cyanobacteria produces certain bioactive compounds as their secondary metabolites that have antimicrobial nature against pathogenic microbial strains. Under present research work we have evaluated cyanobacteria which isolated from Bilaspur Town of Chhattisgarh State, for their antimicrobial profile against pathogenic microbial strains. Out of eighteen cyanobacterial isolated Anabeana iyengerii showed maximum antimicrobial activity. Result exhibited that Methanol extract (100%) of Anabeana iyengrii shown maximum clear zone of 14.4 ±0.59 mm (Mean ±SD) against Staphylococcus aureus and 18.7 ±0.46 mm (Mean ±SD) against Bacillus cereus. Further study could be done to characterize bioactive compounds produced by Anabeana iyengerii to find which bioactive compound are responsible for antimicrobial activity and after purification, toxicity and efficiency of purified bioactive compound could be evaluated against pathogenic microbial strains.
