Abstract

Summary The Antifungal activity of the ethanol extract of Chlorophyta Spirogyra was evaluated at two different concentrations by the diffusion method. The ethanol extract of the Chlorophyta Spirogyra shows antifungal activity at varied levels in Yeasts (Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis) and Dermatophytes (Trichophyton rubru, T. mentagrophytes). The yeast Candida albicans was found to be more active and C. parapsilosis was found to be less active in inhibition zone. Dermatophytes Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes also shows Antifungal activity. T. mentagrophytes was found to be more active than reference inhibition zone.
