| description | This study aimed to investigate the potential of four sea water microalgae, isolated and cultivated at M′diq Bay in Morocco, as a new source of natural antioxidants. These microalgae belong to different classes, including <i>Phaedactylium tricornitum</i> (Bacillariophyceae), <i>Nannochloropsis gaditana</i> (Eustigmatophyceae), <i>Nannochloris</i> sp (Trebouxiophyceae), and <i>Tetraselmis suecica</i> (Chlorodendrophycea). The antioxidant properties were screened by the use of in vitro assays, namely 2,2-difenil-1-picrylhydrazyl, Ferric reducing antioxidant power, and Ferrous ions chelating activity, and compoundidentification was carried out in methanol and acetone extracts of both dried and fresh microalgae biomass by HPLC−PDA−MS analysis. Among the investigated microalgae, <i>Phaedactylium tricornutum</i> was the richest one regarding its carotenoid (especially all-E-fucoxanthin) and phenolic (especially protocatechuic acid) contents, as well as antioxidant activity (65.5%), followed by <i>Nannochloris</i> sp, <i>Tetraselmis suicica</i>, and <i>Nannochloropsis gaditana,</i> with antioxidant activity of 56.8%, 54.9%, and 51.1%, respectively. |
