Antibacterial activities on exclusive mangroves; Nypa fruticans, Lumnitzera racemosa, Xylocarpus granatum, Intsia bijuga, Excoecaria agallocha and Aegiceras corniculatun

Abstract

These findings were crucial to explore new sources of antibacterial and explore new dimension of mangrove in pharmaceutical field. This study carried out to determine the antibacterial activity of exclusive mangroves, the minimal inhibitory concentrarion for antibacterial activities and the plant with highest antibacterial activity. The old leaves from Nypafruticans and Lumnitzera racemosa was collected from Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, meanwhile Xylocarpus granatum, Aegiceras corniculatun, Excoecaria agallocha and lntsia bijuga were obtained from Setiu Wetland, Terengganu.
