Abstract

The aim of the present study was to extract and screen for antimicrobial activity of two Serratia sp isolates from marine environment. Extracts were prepared in hexane and ethyl acetate analyzed by thin layer chromatography and spectral absorbance. The highest antimicrobial activity was exhibited by ethyl acetate extracts compared to hexane extracts. The results showed that the two Serratia sp isolates exhibited antimicrobial activity against one or more of the tested pathogens. Among this two isolates the isolate from mussel was more active.
