TL;DR: It was proved that the Excoecaria agallocha extract was capable of bringing about the desired antifungal effect in a concentration dependent manner.
Abstract: Excoecaria agallocha is a mangrove plant used in traditional medicines for curing a wide variety of diseases. Research on the effect of the extracts on different organisms has yielded varying results. It was understood from literature studies that the extracts have wonderful healing effects and are used against many human disease conditions. Also, it was found to be effective in controlling a variety of plant pathogenic microorganisms. In the present study, an attempt was made to test the antifungal effects of Excoecaria agallocha L. by the inhibition of spore formation in Fusarium oxysporum, Helminthosporium oryzae, Alternaria tennuis and budding in Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). It was proved that the extract was capable of bringing about the desired antifungal effect in a concentration dependent manner.

TL;DR: In this paper, a vegetation analysis revealed that the Lai Chi Wo mangrove swamp in Hong Kong has 10 species comprising 76.9% of the total number of Mangrove species.
Abstract: A vegetation analysis reveals that the Lai Chi Wo mangrove swamp in Hong Kong has 10 mangrove species comprising 76.9% of the total number of mangrove species in Hong Kong. This swamp is a mixed community dominated byAegiceras corniculatum, Heritiera littoralis, Excoecaria agallocha, Kandelia candel, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, with importance values of 37.88, 28.19, 14.33, 11.33 and 8.27 respectively. The community’s mangrove species diversity and evenness, as based on the Shannon-Wiener Function, were 1.44 and 62.01%, which were lower than those of the south su-tropical evergreen broad-leaf forest community but its ecological dominance (0.26) was higher. The correlation information field (CIF) method, a useful analytical method for complex forest community, was adopted in the present mangrove analysis. The species correlation information was:Aegiceras corniculatum (0.268)>Heritiera littoralis (0.250)>Kandelia candel (0.220)>Excoecaria agallocha (0.169)>Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (0.101). The correlation information of the mangrove community was 1.008.

TL;DR: The root callus materials of all the three species showed the best anti-oxidant anti-bacterial activities in this study, which will be a key to develop a new drug to achieve healthy life.
Abstract: Aim: The main aim of this study is to evaluate the anti-oxidant and antimicrobial activity of mangrove species and the development of the callus biomass. Study Design: This is the first comparative evaluation report of field grown root and tissue cultured root callus of mangrove on anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial activity. Acanthus ilicifolius, Calophyllum inophyllum and Excoecaria agallocha were tested in this present investigation. Place and Duration of Study: Centre of Advanced Study in Marine Biology, Faculty of Marine Sciences, Annamalai University, Parangipettai 608 502, Tamil Nadu, India. Between February 2012 and July 2013 Methodology: In order to develop callus biomass, a number of growth hormones were supplemented with the MS medium. Following the callus development, anti-oxidant and anti-microbial activities were tested with field grown root and its tissue cultured root callus of Acanthus ilicifolius, Calophyllum inophyllum and Excoecaria agallocha. This was confirmed by different anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and minimum inhibitory concentration assays. Results: Maximum (89%) root callus biomass was obtained from Acanthus ilicifolius on Original Research Article European Journal of Medicinal Plants, 4(6): , 2014 724 MS medium fortified with 0.3+0.3 mg/L of 2,4-D and KIN. 2,4-D 0.3mg/L and BAP 0.5 mg/L showed the maximum callus from both Calophyllum inophyllum (81%), Excoecaria agallocha (58%). In addition anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial effect of root and root callus of these three species were tested. In this study the root callus materials of all the three species showed the best anti-oxidant anti-bacterial activities. Conclusion: The metabolites from mangroves are good remedy for number of health problems especially the enhanced level of metabolites through the tissue culture techniques. The present study confirmed the anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial effect of Acanthus ilicifolius, Calophyllum inophyllum, Excoecaria agallocha n root extract. This study will be a key to develop a new drug to achieve healthy life. especially the root callus materials showed the better activity when compared to the field grow
