Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of five compounds extracted from marine algae was tested against
Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella choleraesuis, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Candida albicans
, and
Escherichia coli
. Three of the compounds, cycloeudesmol, laurinterol, and debromolaurinterol, exhibited activity at concentrations approaching that of streptomycin. None of the compounds inhibited all of the organisms tested. There appeared to be selectivity for gram-positive microbes.
