Abstract
Mangroves are unique group of vascular plants that occur in saline coastal habitats. Some mangroves are used for a wide range of conditions including bacterial, fungal and viral diseases. These specialized plants are known to tolerate extreme environmental conditions. Comparative antimicrobial activities studies on hexane, chloroform and methanol extracts of Ceriops decandra mangrove medicinal plant was carried out, using Disk Diffusion Assay, The MeOH extracts of C. decandra showed prominent antimicrobial activities, While chloroform and hexane extracts show very less or no antimicrobial activity.
