Abstract
The results evaluated the efficiency of all used algal extracts with high significant differences and could be arranged dissentingly as Dictyota linearis > Dictyota dichotoma var. dichotoma > Dictyopteris membranacea > Padina pavonica (Dictyotaceae). The methanolic used algal extracts of spring and summer were more efficient without significant difference while the algal extractions of autumn came at the second rank with significant difference. The used fungi were Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Penicilium parasiticus, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani andCandida utilis. All of them were affected by all used algal extracts without significant difference.
