Abstract: A total of 56 bacterial strains were isolated from Seaweeds ( edulis, Chaetomorpha linoides and Enteromorpha commpressa strains were allowed for high throughput screening such as Cross streak Disc diffusion method.In the results of cross streak method 23 bacterial isolates exhibited antibacterial activity against 6 human pathogens ( aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholera, Proteus mirabilis pneumoniae).These bacterial extracts were allowed for Disc diffusion method.Out of 23 bacterial extracts, only 14 exhibited activity against bacterial pathogens.That strains went for Genus level identification.Two strains namely ENC13 and ENC14 isol from E. commpressa exhibited broad spectrum activity.Both seems to be antibiotic producers.Among these two, ENC13 exhibited high antibacterial activity producing 20mm zone of inhibition.This bacterium exhibiting promising antibacterial activity was identified as Micrococcus sp.
