The discovering, development and enhancement of new biological activities agents with diverse kinds of antioxidant actions is required. The search for new active ingredients agents focuses on not only synthetic compounds but also natural products such as algae, the aim of the current work was to evaluate the potential use of red macroalga Asparagopsis taxiformis as a new source of antioxidant and biologically active compounds by cultivation it using tissue culture technique. The obtained preliminary results gave indicators for success cultivation of Asparagopsis algae using tissue culture method with production of antioxidant compounds especially with ethyl acetate extract when compared with extract from the raw cells. Also, there are great variation in total lipid contents and its composition from fatty acids and hydrocarbons list in both raw alga and callus.
