Abstract

The freshwater cyanobacteria Nostoc fuscescence were found to be a source of various active compounds. In the present study, the methanolic extract of Nostoc fuscescence was analyzed by GC-MS. The GCMS analysis reveals the presence of a total of 21 different bioactive compounds and these bioactive compounds were identified by comparing with their standards available on NIST. Based on GC-MS analysis, the compounds of Nostoc fuscescence are mainly fatty acids and fatty acid esters. The major compounds in methanolic extract of Nostoc fuscescence are Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (19.65%), Ethyl oleate (16.45%), Heptadecane (9.74%), Benzenepropanoic acid, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethyl ethyl)-4- hydroxy-, methyl ester(6.41%). This is a preliminary study to get some idea about the different types of bioactive compounds present in this methanolic extract. Further work will be focused on studying the efficacy of these bioactive compounds.
