Isolation and characterisation of some antifouling agents from the brown alga Sargassum confusum.
Fats and phthalic acid derivatives were isolated and characterised based on their spectral analysis from the antifouling activity guided fractions of n-hexane and methanol extract of the brown alga Sargassum confusum. The fractions, as well as the isolated compounds, demonstrated significant antifouling activity against spores of a major fouling alga Ulva pertusa with 50-75% decrease of spore attachment on agar-coated slides.
