Inhibition of Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus by phenolic compounds from the terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc muscorum

Phenolic compounds were determined in methanolic extract from the algal mass of a Nostoc muscorum culture. Bioassays with two human pathogens, Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus indicated that algal phenolic compounds evoked significant growth inhibition for both species (89.1% and 88.2%, re...

Sumario:Phenolic compounds were determined in methanolic extract from the algal mass of a Nostoc muscorum culture. Bioassays with two human pathogens, Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus indicated that algal phenolic compounds evoked significant growth inhibition for both species (89.1% and 88.2%, respectively). It is suggested that this strong inhibitory effect is of potential medicinal value. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
