Abstract
Pithophora roettleri (Roth) wittrock is a freshwater macroalgae which is believed to possess high medicinal property. The present work was designed to investigate the phytochemical constituents in ethanolic extract of Pithophora roettleri (Roth) wittrock by Gas chromatography - Mass spectrometry analysis. The phytochemicals elucidated from the algae revealed the presence of various interesting compounds and their mass spectra were interrelated with the National Institute of the Standards and Technology (NIST) and WILEY7 library. A total of 20 compounds were identified in ethanolic extract which comprises terpene, hydrocarbons, esters and others that possess various biological activities.
