Algae are very important component of aquatic ecosystem, known for producing several biologically active compounds with antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities. In the present investigation, the effect of different solvents, including methanol, acetone, petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform, hexane, diethyl ether, ethanol, ethyl acetate were done on Spirogyra sp. Dried algal powder after identification were cold extracted & screened for glycosides,alkaloids,saponins,flavanoids,tannins,terpenoids,phenolics,anthraquinones,cardiac glycosides, etc. The extracts showing good phenolic content were tested for antibacterial activity against pure cultures of fish pathogens namely Aeromonashydrophila,. The GC-MS analysis of the extracts revealed the presence of several antimicrobial bioactive constituents in the extracts.
