Furthermore, marine macroalgae are valuable source of structurally diverse metabolites with scientifically proven reports. The search continues as there are many natural bioactive compounds that are in the womb of the ocean which are still a mystery. Thus, the present study investigates the natural products from green seaweed Ulva capensis.enNatural productsUlva capensisMarine macroalgaeBioactive compoundsGreen seaweedUniversity of Western Cape
