Abstract

Algae are rich in secondary metabolites with diverse bioactive properties, which make them an excellent source for novel natural products. This study aimed to conduct a preliminary screening of green alga Chlorella vulgaris for the presence of secondary metabolites, including phenols flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, saponins, and terpenoids. Extract was prepared from alga Chlorella vulgaris and preliminary screening was carried out for the analysis of presence or absence of secondary metabolites. The alga revealed the presence of various secondary metabolites such as phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids and steroids. However alga showed the absence of glycosides and saponins.
