Abstract
Methanol extracts of five species of freshwater green algae, Chara cotraria A. Braun ex Kützing, Chlorococcum humicolum (Nägeli) Rabenhorst, Hydrodictyon indicum lyengar, Rhizoclonium hieroglyphicum (C. A. Agardh) Kützing and Zygnema stellinum (Vaucher) C. A. Agardh, collected during September and December 1995 from water channels at Bhitshah, Tandoadam, Hyderabad, and Jamshoro in the province of Sindh (Pakistan), were phycochemically studied by GC-MS & NMR spectroscopy and investigated against seven different tests of bioactivity. Thirty-three different fatty acids ranging from C10 to C29 were detected
