Abstract
Assessment of marine life forms for their bioactive potential, being a significant part of marine biological system, has gotten the cadence in modern years with making recognition of their significance in existence of human. In the current investigation, antimicrobial efficacy of the sea grass Chymodacea serrulata was tested against isolated ocular pathogenic bacteria species such as Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, using polar solvents (water and Ethanol) and non-polar solvents (hexane and chloroform) were examined specifically. Maximum activity was noted in chloroform and Ethanol extracts. On account of phytochemical investigation, the polar and non-polar solvent extracts showed positive action with phytoconstituents like steroids, Phenols, Glycosides, terpenoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins and flavonoids excluding sugars and quinines. However, additional investigations are in progress to disengage dynamic mixtures in controlling the growth of ocular pathogenic bacterial strains.
