Abstract Sea weeds are rich in bioactive compounds that play significant roles in human health and environmental sustainability. The main goal of this study was to discover different bioactive substances and to examine their antioxidant abilities and antibacterial impacts in Gracilaria corticata. J. Ag., Padina tetrastromatica Hauck and Caulerpa peltata. Lamour. The algae were collected from Thikkodi and washed, cleaned, separated, dried in the shade, powdered and extracted with chloroform. Three varieties of seaweeds were analyzed through qualitative and quantitative phytochemical tests, revealing the existence of phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins and glycosides. GC-MSMS analysis revealed various phytoconstituents. The disc diffusion technique was used to evaluate the seaweed extracts antimicrobial efficacy against Eicosane, n-Hexadecanoic acid, Tetradecanoic acid and Phthalic acid, di(2-propylpentyl) ester are among the main compounds found in GC-MSMS Analysis. Caulerpa peltata demonstrated the most significant antioxidant activity. The largest inhibition areas were seen in Staphylococcus aureus (17.33±1.15 mm) and E. coli (17.67±1.15 mm), both being gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria respectively.
