Abstract
Studies carried out in Morocco on the bioactivity of seaweeds against bacteria, fungi and inflamatory viruses have been consulted to provide a consolidated report. Little information is available on the metabolites of algae collected off the Moroccan coast, which display antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. This study provides details on the type of algae (80 species are distributed in 22 species of Chlorophyceae, 22 of Phaeophyceae and 36 of Rhodophyceae), the location of harvest, time of collection, the active compound against microorganisms and the reference source.
