But, recent reports are demonstrating their pharmaceutical importance also. Nostoc muscorum is a species of cyanobacterium belonging to the family Nostocaceae. Which contains different bioactive components like phenolics, phycocyanin, triterpenoids amino acids, poly-unsaturated fatty acids, sulphates polysaccharides and carotenoids. These components are specific for antimicrobial, antioxidant and antibacterial activity. However, Different chemical compounds make it incredible and highly significant algae. |
