In this study, the antibacterial and antifungal effects of algae species Spirogyra aequinoctialis extracts, which were taken from aquatic environments and brought to the laboratory environment and isolated by using diagnostic methods, on various microorganism species were investigated. Spirogyra extracts were prepared with 0.5 M Tris-HCL pH:8.00, N-butanol and Ethanol. Antimicrobial activities of the extracts were tested on Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 7644, Escherichia coli O 157:H7, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC, Candida albicans ATCC 10239 by disc diffusion method. As a result, it was determined that the buffer extract of S. aequinoctialis had highly effective antibacterial properties on Escherichia coli O 157:H7. Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 strain was identified as the most susceptible microorganism, while Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 strain was the most resistant microorganism. It was also noted that the most effective solvent was 0.5 M Tris-HCL pH: 8.00. Antifungal activity tests showed that the ethanol extract of S. aequinoctialis had highly effective antifungal properties on Candida albicans ATCC 10239.
