Abstract

Aquatic plants produce a variety of compounds of known therapeutic properties and can be utilized as food and feed. These substances are used for developing new antimicrobial drugs. The present study deals with three aquatic plants dominant in Warangal district A. P. region Eichhornia crassipes, Ipomoea aquatica and Nymphaea pubescens were selected. These three aquatic angiosperms were analysed for their biomolecules and phytochemicals.

 

Key words: Aquatic angiosperms, Eichhornia crassipes, Ipomoea aquatica, Nymphaea pubescens, biomolecules, phytochemicals.
