Acetone was the best solution for extracting the antimicrobial materials from the algal species used in this experiment, with the exception of <em>Ulva lactua</em> for which ethanol was the most effective extraction solution. A Significant in antibacterial activity was not observed between the ethanol and methanol extracts of each algae. In addition as a result of the comparison of dried and fresh extract of antibacterial activity, it was found that, all the test organisms were more sensitive to fresh extracts of the algae.</span></span></p> ER -
