Abstract

Four different concentrations (0.3, 1.5, 3, and 15 g/ml) of spirulina hexane extracts were used to study the effects on different pathogens by well diffusion method. Two Gram positive (Streptococcus mutans and Micrococcus luteus) and four Gram negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Roseomonas gilardii, and Alcaligenes faecalis) were used as test organisms. All the bacteria in current study were susceptible, but the higher inhibition zone was (21mm) with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the concentration (15 g/ml) while the less inhibition zone was (11 mm) with Streptococcus mutans in the concentration (0.3 g/ml) and no inhibitory effect was found against   Sphingomonas paucimobilis in the concentration (0.3 g/ml).
