“…The total extractives, which are the main constituent of the leaves, can be compounds of high market value such as naphthoquinonoes (anticarcinogenic activity), betain (dietary supplement), iridoid glucosides, triacontane, trimethylglycine, and bioactive lipids (Popp 1984;Konig and Rimpler 1985;Wu et al 2008;Ramadan et al 2009;Liebezeit 2012).

Avicennia marina biomass characterization towards bioproducts

et al. 2017

Avicennia marina is the only naturally occurring mangrove specie in the arid Arabian Gulf coast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Due to the water scarcity of this arid-region, A. marina is a precious biomass resource for the UAE that does not require fresh water for growing, and is able to grow in the Arabian Gulf high salinity conditions, over 40g/kg. This non-fresh water lignocellulosic arid-region bioresource may be used for the production of high valuable chemicals. The objective of the present manuscript is to characterize the lignocellulosic composition of Arabian Gulf A. marina, as a first attempt to highlight its importance in a biobased economy in arid regions. Avicennia marina stem, leaves and pneumatophors samples were collected from two locations in the United Arab Emirates. A. marina samples were chemically characterized for sugar composition, ash content and byproducts using standardized protocols. The analysis revealed that A. marina arabinan, xylan, glucan and lignin composition ranges, in g/100g_TS (TS: total solids), between 1-22, 5-18, 10-31, and 21-48, respectively. The highest composition of xylan and glucan (g/100g_TS) was obtained for stems and pneumatophors, 45 and 38, respectively. Xylan and glucan are the polymeric precursors for the production of high value chemicals, e.g. furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), respectively. Under the characterization conditions, it was obtained furfural and HMF (g/100g_TS) in the ranges of 0.05-0.42, and 0.45-2.1, respectively.

“…According to Wu et. al, suggests the family Rhizophoraceae belongs to true mangrove family, which contains 21 species in four genera 2 . In contrast three more species; Rhizophora annamalayana 3 , Kandelia obovata 4 and Ceriops zeppeliana blume 5 become 24 species in four genera in the Rhizophoraceae family of true mangroves.…”

This review examines the chemical compositions and bioactivities of mangrove plants belonging to the Rhizophoraceae family. The Rhizophoraceae family of true mangrove plants is the most common and is also widely distributed species. It consists of 24 species across four genera. Of the 24 species, 12 species remain unexamined for their phytochemical constituents. There have been 268 metabolites reported from 16 species. The key phytochemical constituents identified across the family are the diterpenoids and triterpenoids. The major diterpenoids include pimaranes, beyeranes, kaurenes, dolabranes and labdanes whereas the significant triterpenoids are lupanes, dammaranes and oleananes. Disulphides, dolabranes and labdanes are considered to be the chemotaxonomic markers of the genera Bruguiera, Ceriops and Rhizophora respectively.

“…The plant is a rich source of tannins and triterpenoids [11]. So far, 23 diterpenes and 29 triterpenes have been reported from the stem, twigs, roots, leaves, hypocotyls and fruits of C. tagal and C. decandra [34].…”

Anti–white spot syndrome virus activity of Ceriops tagal aqueous extract in giant tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon

2012

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the most contagious pathogen of cultured shrimp, causes mass mortality, leading to huge economic loss to the shrimp industry. The lack of effective therapeutic or prophylactic measures has aggravated the situation, necessitating the development of antiviral agents. With this objective, the antiviral activity in the aqueous extract of a mangrove plant Ceriops tagal in Penaeus monodon was evaluated. The Ceriops tagal aqueous extract (CTAE) was non-toxic to shrimps at 50 mg/ml when injected intramuscularly at a dosage of 10 lL/animal (0.5 mg/animal) and showed a protective effect against WSSV at 30 mg/ml when mixed with WSSV suspension at a 1:1 ratio. When the extract was administered along with the diet and the animals were challenged orally, there was a dose-dependent increase in survival, culminating in 100 % survival at a concentration of 500 mg/kg body weight/day. Neither hypertrophied nuclei nor the viral envelope protein VP28 could be demonstrated in surviving shrimps using histology and indirect immunofluorescence histochemistry (IIFH), respectively. To elucidate the mode of action, the temporal expression of WSSV genes and shrimp immune genes, including antimicrobial peptides, was attempted. None of the viral genes were found to be expressed in shrimps that were fed with the extract and challenged or in those that were administered CTAE-exposed WSSV. The overall results suggest that the aqueous extract from C. tagal can protect P. monodon from white spot syndrome virus infection.
