ANTIMICROBIAL POTENTIALOF HEMOLYMPH AND HEPATOPANCREAS OFPORTUNUSSEGNISCRABS
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Objective: The potential of marine crabs as a source of bioactive products is largely unexplored. Methods: Portunussegnis crabs were collected from the northern coast of Persian Gulf. Antimicrobial activities of hepatopancreas,hemolymph and proteinsof hemplymphfrom P. segniscrabs against a range of 11 different bacterial and 6 fungal pathogen strains were examined. Two positive controls Amoxicillin and Penicillin were also used.Results: The maximum(16 mm) and minimum (7.2 mm) activity was recorded frommale hemolymph and male hepatopancreas against Entrobacter sp. and Serratiamarcesences respectively. Incomparison with bacterial pathogens, fungal pathogens showed more resistance to the extracts.Conclusion: Results show that hemolymph and hepatopancreas of brachyuran crabs may have Antimicrobial activity.
