Summary The red algae A sparagopsis taxiformis collected from the S traits of M essina ( I taly) were screened for antifungal activity against A spergillus species. EUCAST methodology was applied and extracts showed antifungal activity against A . fumigatus , A . terreus and A . flavus . The lowest minimum inhibitory concentrations observed were <0.15 mg ml −1 and the highest were >5 mg ml −1 for A spergillus spp. tested. Agar diffusion assays confirmed antifungal activity of A . taxiformis extracts in A spergillus species.
