Abstract
The comparative adaptability of the
species Bruguiera gymnorrhiza from the south�ern districts of Kerala viz., Kollam, Alappuzha,
Cochin and Thrissur was assessed in-vitro. B.
gymnorrhiza being a salt-sensitive plant must
be carefully analyzed before restoration practic�es. Without efficient ROS scavenging, the plant
will not be able to survive the salinity fluctuation,
there should be an equilibrium between both.
The study reveals the adaptability of mangroves
to salt tolerance assessed through secondary
metabolites and enzymatic activity for the pro�motion of antioxidant activity with respect to
salinity fluctuation from the four districts. The
presence of secondary metabolites was fur�ther confirmed by GC-MS analysis. The plant
thrived better in optimum salinity, and the high�est phenolic content was obtained from Kollam.
The antioxidant activity of DPPH and Fe2+ was
higher in the Alappuzha sample and the ABTS+
was higher in the leaf sample collected from
Thrissur. Methyl Commate B was reported for
the first time in mangroves and from the species
B. gymnorrhiza. Being a novel identification, it
would pave the way for the medicinal use of the
species and the SEM-EDX results reveal the
high sequestration capacity of the plant.
