The circular bioeconomy is currently a promising model for repurposing natural sources; these sources include plants due to their abundance of bioactive compounds. This study evaluated the antimicrobial properties Chaetomorpha linum extract. an invasive macroalga from Orbetello Lagoon (Tuscany, Italy), which grows in nutrient-rich environments and has been forming extended mats since 2005. biomass mechanically harvested treated as waste, consuming considerable manpower financial resources. As potential way increase value such this found that C. extract (CLE) source phytochemical characterization revealed predominant presence palmitic acid, fatty acid with known activity. Based on findings, four bacterial species high clinical relevance (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli) were tested, revealing notable antibacterial activity Enterococcus faecalis (MIC, 32 μg/mL). Computational analyses identified molecular target offering insights interaction. presents comprehensive vitro silico approach drug discovery studies by
