Evaluation of Natural Products for Algicidal Properties

ABSTRACT

A procedure for the screening of antialgal substances has been described and evaluated with specific reference to microbial products. Data on the extracellular materials of 545 actinomycete and fungal isolates showed a wide distribution of agents having algicidal activities. Of these culture filtrates, 20.4% apparently had selective antagonistic effects against particular algal groups. A more comprehensive examination revealed that metabolic products from two actinomycete cultures exhibited properties that warrant further studies on their chemical and physiological characteristics.
