Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Resistance to antibiotics used to treat them has become a global problem. Today, the clinical effectiveness of many available antibiotics against resistant pathogens is threatened. Marine organisms are rich sources of bioactive substances or newly structured metabolites. Primary and secondary metabolites produced by these organisms constitute the area of ​​greatest interest to the pharmaceutical industry today. Screening of compounds and extracts isolated from different natural sources is a common way to find biologically active metabolites. Many studies have reported that algae and its metabolites, as natural resources, are preferred as a rich source for the development of various nutritional, industrial and medical products (Borowitzka 1995; Volk & Furkert, 2006; Evrim et al. 2010). Industrial and technological developments have significantly increased pollution, and therefore the density and diversity of carcinogenic substances that pose a threat to human health have also increased. Since the mid-20th century, it has become necessary to determine the genotoxicity of every newly detected substance (Al-Haj et al., 2009).
