Abstract
The present study was carried out to the antibacterial properties of the whole body extract of two species Cyparaea sp. And Saccostrea cucullata against five enteric human pathogen collected from Frazergunj,Sundarban,Fish herber area of West Bengal and Digha. The marine environment is an exceptional reservoir for bioactive natural products. The marine environment comprise of complex ecosystem with a plethora of organisms and many of these organism are known to possess bioactive compounds as a common means of defense. The marine natural products have been investigated predominantly for their antimicrobial, cytotoxic antitumor and anti-inflammatory properties. The present study based on the following – 1.To ascertain the antibacterial activity of extract from locally available edible oyster (Saccostrea cucullata from Frazergunj,Sundarban,Fish herber) against five pathogen. 2. To ascertain the antibacterial activity of extract from marine mollusca (Cypra sp from Digha) against five human pathogen. 3. To determine the nature of bioactive compounds of the whole body extract from marine mollusca and edible oyster.
