Sargassum incisifolium and Ulva spp metabolites activity and their molecular dynamics simulation against Fusarium oxysporum 14-alpha-demethylase.

ABSTRACT: Fusarium oxysporum, a major agricultural pathogen, poses severe risks to crops worldwide. With increasing resistance to conventional antifungal agents, there is an urgent need for alternative treatments. Seaweeds such as Ulva spp. and Sargassum incisifolium are promising sources of bioactive compounds that may offer novel antifungal properties. This study investigates the antifungal activity of acetone extracts from Ulva spp. and Sargassum incisifolium against F. oxysporum, with the goal of identifying specific bioactive compounds responsible for this activity and evaluating their effectiveness quantitatively. We prepared acetone extracts from both seaweed species and assessed their antifungal activity using a series of in vitro assays. The total phenolic content (TPC)
