- Abstract
The study of marine organisms for their bioactive potential, being an important part of marine ecosystem has picked up
the rhythm in recent years with the growth recognition of their importance in human life as well as animal. The in vitro
antibacterial activity of column chromatographic fractions of root extract of Cymodocea serrulata L. were determined
for antibacterial activity against 4 poultry pathogens. The results suggest that 6 fractions from acetone extract and one
fraction from hexane extract exhibited broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. It is concluded that the bioactive
compounds from the root extract of C. serrulata can be effectively used as an alternative poultry medicine to replace
the conventional antibiotics of having adverse side effects.
