The literature and original data on the content of fucoxanthin and phytohormones in marine brown algae are summarized. The biological activity of fucoxanthin, including its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic and other properties are examined. The brown seaweeds genus Cystoseira C. Agardh, distributed in the Black Sea, are good source for the production of biologically active substances, including fucoxanthin and phytohormones.

Keywords: fucoxanthin, phytohormones, brown algae, Cystoseira, Black Sea
