In the Muthupettai mangrove environment, spectral properties of six mangrove species viz. Avicennia marina, Aegiceras corniculatum, Excoecaria agallocha, Acanthus ilicifolius, Suaeda monoica and S. maritima was studied using Multi band Ground Truth Radiometer (Model-041). The study found that the chlorophyll concentration of different mangrove leaves varies between 0.05 and 0.36 mg g(-1), regis...

the interest in plants antimicrobial properties has been revived because of the current problems associated with the use of antibiotics. nowadays, the fact that microorganisms tend to develop drug resistance, besides the side effects of certain antibiotics has offered considerable potentials for the development of new effective antifungal and antioxidant agents; medicinal plants are prolific so...

A sediment sample was obtained at 122 cm from the top of a drilling core in the Guapimirim mangrove, Bay of Guanabara, and analyzed using pollen analysis. This muddy core reached a sandy ground at 133 cm. 14C datation got the age of 1760 +/- 50 years B.P. The most frequent pollen grains were mangrove species of Rhizophora mangle, Laguncularia racemosa and Avicennia schaueriana. "Restinga" and t...

Growing incidences of β-lactamase producing uropathogens have been observed worldwide. Extended Spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs) and Metallo β-lactamase (MBLs) are two types of β-lactamases that have emerged as a major threat with limited treatment options. In the current study, the effect of Avicennia marina leaf and stem extracts was studied on 10 ESBL and 10 MBL producing uropathogens which were...
