Abstract
The antifungal properties of an extract of Sargassum filipendula and of the commercial product Algaenzims were compared on Aspergillus niger, A. flavu s, A parasiticus, Penicillium sp., Fusarium oxysporum, Candida albicans y C . rugosa. The extract of S filipendula inhibited growth of all fungi at dif ferent concentrations. However, Algaenzim did not inhibit growth of any of the fungi under the conditions of the test.
