Antibacterial Activity of Leaf Extracts of Spondias Mangifera Wild: a Future Alternative of Antibiotics
Microbiological Communication Biosci. Biotech. Res. Comm. 12(3): 665-668 (2019) Antibacterial activity of leaf extracts of Spondias mangifera Wild: A future alternative of antibiotics Pooja Jaiswal1, Alpana Yadav1, Gopal Nath2 and Nishi Kumari1* 1Department of Botany, MMV, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, Uttar Pradesh, India 2Department of Microbiology, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi 221005, Uttar Pradesh, India ABSTRACT Antibacterial effi cacy of both dry and green leaf extracts of Spondias mangifera was observed by using their methanol, ethanol, and aqueous extracts. Six human pathogenic bacterial strains were selected as test organisms and antibacterial activities were assessed by using disc diffusion method. Maximum inhibition of Enterococcus faecalis was observed by ethanolic dry leaf extract (25.00 ± 0.58). Similarly, methanolic dry leaf extract was very effective against Shigella boydii (25.17±0.44). Higher antibacterial activity was observed by green leaf extracts for other test organisms. Aqueous extract of green leaf showed maximum inhibition (11.50± 0.76) against Staphylococcus aureus. Ethanolic extract of green leaf showed maximum activity (10.17±0.44) against Escherichia coli. Similarly, methanolic extract of green leaf against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus vulgaris showed maximum antibacterial activities, i.e. (15.50±0.29) and (12.50±0.29) respectively.

It was first described by Francis Hamilton in 1798. The tree is natural wild growth in the tropical deciduous forests of Northern, Western and Central India, mostly in the States of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and in Varanasi and Mirzapur districts of Uttar Pradesh. Besides India, the plant is also found in other tropical Asian countries, Australia and Pacific islands. Tree can be identified by dark grey crocodile bark with red blaze and is a good species for afforestation in bare hill slopes. Traditional indigenous knowledge reveals the immense value of almost all parts of the plant i.e. roots, leaves, fruits, seeds and gum for various medicinal uses. Buchanania lanzan, being a vulnerable medicinal plant, is included in the Red Data Book published by International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). This species has high socio- economic value providing livelihood to tribal population of the area and has high potential as commercial horticulture species. -

Enrichment Plantings As a Means of Enhanced Bush Food and Bush Medicine Plant Production in Remote Arid Regions – a Review and Status Repor | L.S
Enrichment plantings as a means of enhanced bush food and bush medicine plant production in remote arid regions – a review and status repor | L.S. Lee & Kim Courtenay 64 Enrichment plantings as a means of enhanced bush food and bush medicine plant production in remote arid regions – a review and status report L.S. Lee Kim Courtenay CRC for Remote Economic Participation & Kimberley Training Institute Southern Cross University [email protected] [email protected] Keywords: enrichment planting; savannah enrichment; bush food; bush medicine; Terminalia ferdinandiana; Solanum centrale Abstract Attempts to establish horticultural businesses in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities have seldom experienced sustained success. Various reasons have been proposed – inadequate technical and business expertise, insufficient planning and consultation, limited local demand for products and long distances to external markets, harsh seasonal conditions adverse to farming, limited irrigation water availability, competing community interests, and the laborious nature of the work under arduous conditions. This paper proposes a further reason and explores a new approach as an alternative to horticulture. Enrichment planting is a strategy involving the establishment of plants for food, medicine or other uses, in a landscape that is otherwise natural and largely undisturbed. The establishment of enrichment plantings of bush food and medicinal plants in bushland settings complements wild harvest, and yet as an alternative to the agricultural farming approach, it accommodates the important social and cultural interactions of value to Aboriginal people in collecting bush food and traditional medicines, while also generating a source of income. Through a review of the limited published information available and documentation of the current status in Australia, the use of enrichment planting is examined in the global context and its application to bush food and traditional medicine production for remote Aboriginal communities is explored. -

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) “Wild Harvesting of Kakadu Plum for Commercial Purposes” Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation Revision 3 November 2018 KNP EIA INTRODUCTION The Kakadu National Park (NP) Management Plan 2016-2026 is the key document which determines what activities are allowed in Kakadu NP and how they should be assessed. The Plan establishes different categories of action according to the degree of potential impacts (Section 9.5: Table 4 - Impact Assessment Procedures). All proponents must refer to the full explanation of these categories and the impact assessment process in the EIA Guidelines before completing the following. CATEGORY 1 ASSESSMENT If your proposal involves an action considered likely to have • no impact • or no more than a negligible impact on the Park’s environment and natural and cultural values • and no impact on Bininj/Mungguy ► COMPLETE KAKADU NP’S PRELIMINARY CHECKLIST, NOT THIS FORM Some examples of Category 1 activities: • Minor capital works e.g. maintenance, replacement repairing or improving existing infrastructure in its present form. • Regular/routine ongoing operations to implement prescriptions in the Kakadu NP Management Plan e.g. patrols, weed control or fire management. • Seasonal opening/closing of visitor areas. • Issuing permits for regular activities in accordance with the Kakadu NP Management Plan, e.g. land-based tours, camping, research. CATEGORY 2 ASSESSMENT If your proposal involves an action considered likely to have • More than a negligible impact • but a not a significant impact on the Park’s environment and natural and cultural values • More than a negligible but not a significant impact on Bininj/Mungguy. ► ► AN EIA IS REQUIRED.
