“…Macroalgae have a wide range of uses such as food, animal feed, fertilizer, and as a source of bioactive compounds of biomedical and pharmaceutical (Chandran, 2015;Gür İ., 2023;Polat and Ozogul, 2008). These bioactive substances (proteins, polysaccharides, polyphenols, and lipids) have antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties (Aslan, et al, 2019;Turan, S, Sayin, and Ozyilmaz, 2015).
