Summary
The antibacterial properties of Euglena viridis, collected from a freshwater pond at the Central Institute of
Freshwater Aquaculture (CIFA), Bhubaneshwar, India, were tested against various strains of virulent pathogens
viz. Pseudomonas putida (PP1, PP2), P. aeruginosa (PA1, PA2, PA3, PA4), P. fluorescens (PF1, PF2, PF3, PF4),
Aeromonas hydrophila (AH30, AH31, AH32, AH34), Edwardsiella tarda, Vibrio alginolyticus (VA1), V. anguillarum
(VN1, VN2 & VN3), V. fluvialis (VF1), V. parahemolyticus (VP1) and V. harveyi (VH1) and Escherichia coli (O115,
O1, O156, O164, O111 & O109). Four organic extracts viz. methanolic, ethanolic, acetone and acetone/ethanol of
the E. viridis showed moderate to high antibacterial activity to all the bacterial pathogens. Rotavapor extraction
products showed higher sensitivity in comparison to cold and hot extractions.
