Effect of Cladophora glomerata Extract Against Some Fungal Pathogens

Abstract

This study examines the impact of imported Cladophora green growth from the Caspian Sea on tomato infection causing parasites, Curvularia manamgodae and Fusarium solani, leading to most foodborne illnesses. The study found that at a concentration of 5% alcoholic extract, Fusarium solani and Curvularia manamgodae were reduced from 14 to 0, with the highest productivity against these parasitic microbes at a concentration of 10%, with an inhibition percentage of 74.4% and 61.5%, respectively. The study found that at different concentrations of alcoholic extract, normal provinces measurements and inhibition percentages were observed for both genus. At 20% concentration, 100% inhibition percentage and zero inhibition loss were observed. Water extract at 5% and 10% concentrations resulted in 50 mm inhibition loss and 50% inhibition percentage. The study found that at a 10% concentration, Fusarium solani and Curvularia manamgodae showed inhibition losses of 10 and 30 mm, respectively, while at a 20% concentration, they showed 100% inhibition. The study found that a 20% alcoholic extract was most effective in inhibiting Fusarium solani and Curvularia manamgodae for 3-6 working days at 28°C. The Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometry technique analysed the alcoholic and watery extract of Cladophora glomerata, revealing the presence of phytochemical compounds like Hexadecane and Octadecane, which have strong inhibitory effects on organisms.
