Crude extracts and column fractions from the red algae Asparagopsis taxiformis and A. armata from the Strait of Messina (Italy) were screened for the production of antimicrobial compounds. Extracts from both species revealed remarkable antiprotozoal activity against Leishmania, revealing such algae as a great source of natural antiprotozoal products.
从墨西拿海峡(意大利)的红藻龙须菜(Asparagopsis taxiformis)和 A. armata 中提取的粗提取物和柱级分进行了筛选,以寻找具有抗菌活性的化合物。两种藻类的提取物均对利什曼原虫具有显著的抗原生动物活性,表明这些藻类是天然抗原生动物产品的重要来源。
