| Abstract: | The role of marine algae in
the discovery of drugs that could reach the pharmaceutical market has increased
notably in recent years, due to a substantial improvement in biological
screening methods. Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) TB is the major hurdle in the TB
control programmes. The selected resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
were screened for the bioactive compounds extracted from marine microalgae. It
is noted that Isochrysis galbana has rich bioactive compounds than the other
algal species. |
