Determination Mangrove Species Using Genetic Technique and Measure the Antioxidant Activitiy of Mangrove

Abstract

Mangroves are various types of trees up to medium height and shrubs that grow in saline coastal sediment habitats in the tropics and subtropics mainly between latitudes 25° N and 25° S. Mangrove generally divided into seven types, of which red, black and white mangrove are dominant. mangrove trees performed purification that remove any debris from entering the coastal and to act as antibacterial. In this study, based on the genetic variations of RuBisCo large subunit (rbcL) gene, mangrove species in tropical regions of micronesia were determined by using genetic techniques and antioxidant activities of each species were measured. It was indentified that six mangrove species (sonneratia alba, xylocarpus moluccersis, xylocarpus granatum, rhizophora stylosa, rhizophora apiculata, excoecaria agallcha) is distributed in Micronesia. The antioxidant activity of six kinds of mangroves was tested by using DPPH, Ployphenol, and ABTS assay. As a result, antioxidant activities in red mangroves were higher than black mangroves, while red mangroves were similar to the antioxidant activity of green tea known high antioxidant activity.h red, black and white mangrove are dominant. mangrove trees performed purification that remove any debris from entering the coastal and to act as antibacterial.
