In vitro antimicrobial activity of mangrove plant Sonneratia alba

Abstract

From this study, it can be concluded that S. alba exhibits antimicrobial activities against certain microorganisms.

A comparative study of the antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic and thrombolytic potential of the fruits and leaves of Spondias dulcis

“…Since plants are rich in various types of secondary metabolites including tannins, terpenoids, alkaloids and flavonoid, they have been found to exert in vitro antimicrobial property [53] . In our study, antimicrobial activity of various fruit and leaf extracts of S. dulcis is evaluated by disc diffusion method.…”

Evaluation of antibacterial effect of Cyperus species on typical food-borne pathogens

“…The studied microorganisms included strains of C. jejuni (PTCC 1015), S. aureus (PTCC 1431), S. enterica (PTCC 1705) and E. coli (PTCC 1399). MIC was determined by the broth microdilution method in a 96-well micro-plate [21,22]. All tests were performed in MHB [23].…”

“…Each extract was dissolved in DMSO and added to MHB [3]. The final concentration of DMSO was lower than 2.5% and did not affect the microbial growth [21]. The extracts were serially diluted to give a concentration of 666, 333, 166.5, 50, 83.25, 41.62, 20.81, 10.40 and 5.25 mg/mL [24].…”

Analgesic, Anti-Inflammatory and CNS Depressant Activities of Methanolic Extract of Sonneratia alba Leaves in Mice

“…Folklore healing uses of Sonneratia alba include treatment of different skin ailments [8]. Antimicrobial activity of Sonneratia alba was investigated using different organic and natural solvents against different human pathogens [9][10][11]. Five secondary metabolites has been isolated and characterised from the Sonneratia alba are Lupeol, Oleanic acid, β-Sitosterol, β-stigmasterol in addition to Sitost-4-en-3-one were isolated and characterized by studying 1 H NMR.…”
