چکیده
The antimicrobial activity of the mangrove plant extract of Sonneratia apetala on the various test microorganisms, including clinical multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria and phytopathogens were investigated. Antimicrobial activities of the extracts were determined by the well diffusion method. In vitro screening of S. apetala mangrove plant extracts of showed species specific activity in inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi. Hexane, chloroform and methanol extracts showed good activity against all the pathogens, where as methanolic extracts were active against most of the pathogens.

In coastal China, the exotic invasive Spartina alterniflora is preventing the establishment of native mangroves. The use of exotic species, control of exotic plant invasion, and restoration of native plant communities are timely research issues. We used exotic Sonneratia apetala Buch.-Ham and S. caseolaris (L.) Engl. to control invasive Spartina alterniflora Loisel through replacement control f...
متن کاملAre Photosynthetic Characteristics and Energetic Cost Important Invasive Traits for Alien Sonneratia Species in South China?
A higher photosynthesis and lower energetic cost are recognized as important characteristics for invasive species, but whether these traits are also important for the ability of alien mangrove species to become invasive has seldom been reported. A microcosm study was conducted to compare the photosynthetic characteristics, energetic cost indices and other growth traits between two alien species...

Cooking is the major method of consumption of the edible mangrove fruit of Sonneratia apetala (Buch.-Ham.). Effects of cooking methods-autoclaving, boiling, microwaving, pressure cooking and steaming on total polyphenol contents and antioxidant activities of both fresh and dried-stored seeds and pericarps of the fruits were studied. All the methods significantly (p < 0.01) enhanced total polyph...
