Comparative study on antimicrobial activities of mangroves growing in polluted and non-polluted sites of northern Arabian Sea

Diversity of bacterial communities in the Sundarbans mangrove, Bangladesh, with special focus on pathogens affecting aquatic organisms

“…The Sundarbans areas are affected by various types of microbial communities [82] their interaction with mangroves plays a crucial role in the biogeochemical processes [ 37 , 86 , 93 ]. Mangroves along the Northern Arabian Sea coast contained polluted Avicennia marina stands that displayed potent antibacterial and antifungal properties [12] . In addition, Chan et al.…”

“…In addition, Chan et al. [13] reported that A. marina species collected from polluted sites have better antimicrobial activity than non-polluted sites. Microbes can serve as sensitive indicators of environmental change and stress due to their impact on ecosystem functions [34] .…”

Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Property of a True Mangrove Rhizophora apiculata Bl.

“…[7] Extracts from the fruits, roots, leaves, and bark of A. officinalis and A. marina showed antibacterial, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and anticancer activities. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The presence of distinctive bactericidal and antioxidative capabilities was revealed by antimicrobial activity, phytochemical screening, and DPPH assay of B. gymnorhiza extracts by hexane and methanol. [6,15] The biological activities of the mangrove leaf extract may be caused by these phytochemical substances found in the extracts.…”
