Abstract

The present study aimed to characterise some active phenolic compounds in the alcoholic extract of two types of local microalgae, Chlorella sorokiniana and Coelastrella saipanensis. These compounds were detected using HPLC device. The results showed that there were four types of active phenolic compounds, which were Gallic acid, Catechine, Ferulic acid and Hydrobenzoic acid. The highest concentration of all these compounds  found in Coelastrella saipanensis. Concerning the compounds, the highest value was for Gallic acid and it was 45. 85 ppm, while the lowest value was for Hydrobenzoic acid and it was 14. 28 ppm in Chlorella sorokiniana. It is that these compounds have vital activity in inhibiting different types of pathogenic bacteria and fungi as shown in many previous studies. From this study, we conclude the ability to produce these active compounds from both algae under natural conditions of growth.
