Natural compounds are increasingly favored over synthetic ones for their lower environmental impact. However, extraction and characterization processes typically rely on harsh conditions conventional solvents, which unsustainable cause pollution. This study aimed to develop an eco-friendly method isolate evaluate the antimicrobial properties of bioactive from Chlorella sorokiniana. Using dimethyl carbonate (DMC), methoxycyclopentane (CPME), butan-2-one (MEK) as green solvents alongside chloroform a non-green reference solvent, both untreated sodium hydroxide pre-treated microalgae biomass, extract yields up 182 ± 27 mg/g DW were obtained using MEK. Extracts biomass exhibited MIC values compared those with same solvent when tested agents against Escherichia coli, Bacillus megaterium, subtilis. The lowest value (4.89 0.05 µg/mL) was observed E. coli CPME, comparable vancomycin control (1.55 0.03 µg/mL). Principal component analysis highlighted correlations between GC-MS-identified activity. ANOVA post hoc tests (p < 0.05) confirmed choice, pre-treatment influenced yield bioactivity. results underscore sustainable alternatives extracting autotrophic microalgae.
