In the world, seaweeds or marine macro algae area unit is renewable living resources that are used as a several components like food, feed, and fertilizers. They are typically live hooked up to rock or alternative laborious substrata in coastal areas. Turbinaria found in tropical marine waters, which grows on rocky substrates. Turbinaria belongs to the class- Anthozoa, Order-Scleractinia, family-Dendrophylliidae, Genus- Turbinaria. The aim of the present study is the phytochemical analyses were evaluated for the marine algae Turbinaria conoides and Turbinaria ornate from Mandapam coast, Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, India. To cope with the assessment of the chemical composition of assorted marine seaweeds were extracted from different solvents. The current study reveals that the seaweeds contain a high quantity of phytochemical constituents. Besides, the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, phenols, coumarins, proteins, carbohydrates, quinones and glycosides from Turbinaria ornata and Turbinaria conoides. This report will lead to the isolation and characterization of these active secondary metabolites for bio-efficacy and bioactivity. Therefore, seaweed extracts possessed higher amount of phytochemicals and which proves that these selected seaweeds will have provide unique and novel metabolites of unprecedented structures, with antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-plasmodial, nematicidal, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and anti-angiogenic activities, these bioactive compounds may provide high-quality drug candidates for pharmaceutical applications, as well as agricultural and industrial applications. KEYWORDS: Turbinaria, Coumarins, Seaweeds, Phytochemicals and Turbinaria conodies

The present study was intended to discover the preliminary phytochemicals of Dictyota dichotoma (Huds.) Lamouroux from Koothankuzhi coast, Tirunelveli district, the south east coast of Tamil Nadu, India. The preliminary phytochemical analysis was conducted in seven extracts namely methanol, acetone, chloroform, ethyl acetate, petroleum ether, hexane and benzene by Harborne method. The preliminary phytochemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, anthocyanin, anthraquinones, cardiac glycosides, catechin, coumarins, diterpenes, emodins, flavonoids, glycosides, leucoanthocyanin, lignins, phenols, phlobatannins, quinones, saponins, steroids, tannins, terpenoids and triterpenoids. Among the various phytochemicals studied, tannin showed the maximum presence, being found in seven different extracts and anthraquinones was observed in only one extract. From the results, it was noted that the extracts of Dictyota dichotoma (Huds.) Lamouroux was found to be the presence of a number of active secondary metabolites. This report will lead to the isolation and characterization of these active secondary metabolites for bioefficacy and bioactivity. Keywords: Phytochemical, Bioactive compounds, Seaweed extracts, Dictyota, Tamil Nadu.

Bacteriophages have been suggested as an alternative approach to reduce the amount of pathogens in various applications. Bacteriophages of various specificity and virulence were isolated as a means of controlling food-borne pathogens. We studied the interaction of bacteriophages withBacillusspecies, which are very often persistent in industrial applications such as food production due to their antibiotic resistance and spore formation. A comparative study using electron microscopy, PFGE, and SDS-PAGE as well as determination of host range, pH and temperature resistance, adsorption rate, latent time, and phage burst size was performed on three phages of theMyoviridaefamily and one phage of theSiphoviridaefamily which infectedBacillus subtilisstrains. The phages are morphologically different and characterized by icosahedral heads and contractile (SIOΦ, SUBω, and SPOσphages) or noncontractile (ARπphage) tails. The genomes of SIOΦ and SUBωare composed of 154 kb. The capsid of SIOΦ is composed of four proteins. Bacteriophages SPOσand ARπhave genome sizes of 25 kbp and 40 kbp, respectively. Both phages as well as SUBωphage have 14 proteins in their capsids. Phages SIOΦ and SPOσare resistant to high temperatures and to the acid (4.0) and alkaline (9.0 and 10.0) pH.

Enzymes are natural products that play an important role in various industrial applications, from food processing to chemical products. One of the most widely used enzymes is amylase. Amylase is an enzyme that plays a role in starch hydrolysis. Amylolytic bacteria can be isolated in the digestive tract of fish. This is most bacteria that occupy the digestive tract have high activity. This study aims to obtain a potential isolate producing amylase bacteria whose activity can be determined through morphological characterization and activity test of enzyme-producing bacteria. The results obtained from this study were ten isolates with the potential to produce amylase enzymes, which were marked with a positive test after the addition of iodine.
