Halophytes are plants that have significant economic importance with, the potential for use in therapeutic medicine and environmental restoration. This study compiles a comparison of chemical composition ethanol extracts from aquatic terrestrial halophyte (Halophila stipulacea, Halodule uninervis, Thalassodendron ciliatum Spergularia marina, Suaeda aegyptiaca Arthrocnemum fruticosum) using gas chromatography –Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis also demonstrated antimicrobial properties. GC-MS is first step identifying nature active compound synthesis plants. In comparison, total phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids (mg/g) contents higher H. stipulacea than other species, with quantity 17.02, 28.17, 12.79 mg/g, respectively. 132 compounds were confirmed by GC/MS qualitatively quantitatively all The major these six halophytic extract (n-Hexadecanoic acid 19.83%, 6-Octadecenoic 26.72, 28.01%, Phytol 14.85%, 13.32%, Tridecane 2 phenyl 11.06%) Rhodopin 2,6-dimethyl-N-(2-methyl-à-phenylbenzyl) aniline found only S. aegyptiaca, as benzedrex, which stipulacea. subjected to assays agar diffusion method against four species fungi, three Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria. uninervis showed highest inhibition zones G+ve G-ve bacteria (9, 9, 11, 12, 12 mm), Our points out promising sources natural properties could be suitable future applications.
