Seaweed is favored seafood in some regions and is also used as feedstock for extracting fine chemicals. The total global seaweed production continues to grow This study investigated the biological activities of n-Hexane, Ethylacetate and Methanol extract of two red marine macro algae (Gracilariopsis persica and Hypnea flagelliformis), collected from the coast of Bandar Abbas, Persian Gulf, Iran. For identification the superior species with biological properties, the tested activities included Carotenoids content, total Phenolic content, total flavonoids content, antioxidant activity at the concentration (3 mg/ml) by ferric reducing power (FRP) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) assay and at final, antibacterial activity was evaluated. This study revealed that the more effective macro algae extracts by maximum antioxidant capacity: FRP and TAC, were recorded for Ethylacetate extracts. The result showed the highest content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds were recorded for the Methanol extracts of Gp. persica, 45.12±0.01 (mg GA/gr DW.) and 2.28±0.007 (mg QE /gr DW.), respectively while H. flagelliformis showed the maximum Carotenoid content 17±0.06 (mg 100g^-1 ). In addition, the highest antibacterial activity was recorded for the n-hexane and followed by Ethylacetate extracts. In general comparison, though, according to the results, antioxidant and antibacterial activity of species in this study were calculated less than standard, but could be accounted these seaweeds as safe biological properties and with abundance of them in coastal of Bandar Abbas, could be considered for future applications in medicine and dietary supplements.
