The Ecological Condition of Mangrove in Bali Beach, Mesjid Lama Village, Talawi Sub District, Batu Bara District, North Sumatera Province.

Abstract: Mangrove is the living plant community between the sea and the land that was influenced by the tides. Bali beach in Mesjid Lama village, Batu Bara Regency of North Sumatera Province has an area of mangrove forest about 637,22 ha. Bali beach still has a natural mangrove ecosystem. But, the coastal has long been used by the local community as a source of livelihood especially mangrove forest logging. This research was aimed to know the ecological condition of mangrove forest and condition of the mangrove waters. This research is done in March 2014 to Mei 2014. This research is done with a purposive sampling method by taking and observing of biotic components which was mangrove vegetation and the measurement of water quality parameters. There are 10 kinds of mangrove which found in the research location, namely Aegiceras corniculatum, Avicennia lanata, A. marina, A. officinalis, Bruguiera cylindrica, B. sexangula, Ceriops tagal, Excoecaria agallocha, Rhizophora mucronata and R. stylosa. Kinds of mangrove substrate at this research is clay, loam and silty loam. The biggest diversity index is in the station II. Keywords : mangrove, the ecological condition, water quality, Batu Bara District.

Comparative study of antioxidant activity , polyphenolics, content and ftir analysis of various extracts, from different parts of excoecaria agallocha .

Abstract: Excoecaria agallocha a milky mangrove, blind your eye mangrove, or a river poison tree is widely distributed in Indian coastal regions. The present study focuses on evaluation of phenolics and flavanoids present in Excoecaria agallocha. The FTIR analysis of various mangrove extract is also studied .The FTIR analysis showed the presence of flavones, alcohol,arenes,aliphatic functional group. Total phenolic content (TPC) expressed as gallic acid equivalents (GAE) ranged from 6.3±0.4 (whole plant petroleum ether extract) to 10.83±0.7 (stem methanol extract) mg GAE/g dry weight. Total flavonoid content expressed as quercetin equivalents (QE) ranged from 9.2±0.9 (whole plant ethyl acetate extract) to 33.8±0.9 ( leaf methanol extract) mg QE/g dry weight. Antioxidant activity determined by DPPH assay is highest(83.3 ±3.2%) in methanol extract. Keywords: Excoecaria agallocha ,halophyte, TPC , TFC, antioxidant, DPPH assay, FTIR.

Bioactivity of the methanol extract of Excoecaria agallocha Linn.(Euphorbiaceae)

Abstract: The methanol extract and residual methanol fraction of Excoecaria agallocha L. (Euphorbiaceae) stem bark was investigated in this study by wheat rootlet and shoot growth inhibition, and antimicrobial bioassay. The methanol extract and residual methanol fraction showed high inhibitory effect on both the wheat rootlet (82-89%) and shoot growth (85-90%) compared to control. The methanol extract showed a better and dose related inhibition on both the rootlet and shoot growth compared to residual methanol fraction. The value of methanol extract for rootlet and shoot were and , and of residual methanol fraction for rootlet and shoot were and . The methanol extract and residual methanol fraction did not show any antibacterial activity against the tested microorganisms of clinical isolates Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureous, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris and Bacillus subtilis. The plant has the potential to be a source of novel cytotoxic compound(s).
