Biological Activitivies Of Acanthophora Spicifera (VAHL) Borgesen From Pulau Gedung, Penang

A total of eight extract of Acanthophora spicifera extracted using two different methods using solvents of different polarity, were used throughout this study. These extracts were assayed to determine the antimicrobial activities, antioxidant activities, in-vitro cytotoxicity and total phenolic con...
