    <abstract language="eng"><p style="text-align: justify;">Cyanobacteria as proven source of bioactive secondary metabolites have recently found immense application in pharmaceutical sector<em>. </em>The goal of this study was to find out the antimicrobial property in two species of cyanobacteria, <em>Oscillatoria boryana </em>and <em>Oscillatoria pseudogeminata</em> against different pathogenic microorganisms. Aqueous and different solvent extracts (acetone, methanol, benzene) were prepared and assayed for antimicrobial activity against four bacterial (<em>Staphylococcus </em><em>aureus</em>, <em>Bacillus s</em><em>ubtilis</em>, <em>Vibrio </em><em>cholerae </em>and <em>Eschercichia</em><em> coli</em>) and four fungal (<em>Aspergillus </em><em>niger, Candida albicans, Penicillium verrucosun </em>and <em>Fusarium oxysporum</em>) pathogens. The study results recorded highest antimicrobial activity in methanol extracts of <em>O. boryana </em>showing significant zone of inhibition against <em>V. </em><em>cholerae</em> (20±0.74 mm) and <em>C. </em><em>albicans</em> (17±0.80 mm). Least antimicrobial activity was detected in aqueous extract among all the test species. The purified active fractions were analysed using GC-MS, where dominant compounds that are responsible for the inhibitory activity such as n-hexadecanoic (15.42%) 5-Methyl-2-phenyl indolizine (13.3%), Acetic acid (12.47), 5-Nitro-3-cyano-2(1H)-pyridone (10.37 %), 9-Oxo-9,10-dihydro acridine-4-yl (6.8%) were detected.Thus the obtained results suggests that studied species of cyanobacteria can be prospective in biotechnology as an alternative sources of antimicrobial substances.</p></abstract>
