TL;DR: The results obtained presupposes that the plant extracts are effective against some of the test organisms and their mode of activity are that they interfere with the ability of bacteria to produce catalase, inducing cell death by the production of hydroxyl radical and also by to the enhancement of non-opsonic phagocytosis of bacteria by macrophages.

Commercial applications of microalgae
TL;DR: The first use of microalgae by humans dates back 2000 years to the Chinese, who used Nostoc to survive during famine, while future research should focus on the improvement of production systems and the genetic modification of strains.
