چکیده
Abstract: The present study deals with the leaf extracts of 4 coastal living medicinal plants Viz., Ocimum canum, Acalypha indica, Eclipta alba and Lawsonia inermis for their antibacterial potential. The maximum antibacterial activity was observed with Acalypha indica and Lawsonia inermis against tested pathogens. Proteus mirabilis, Shigella dysenteriae and Staphylococus aureus were found susceptible to all the extracts. Methanol and chloroform were used for the preparation of extracts, the solvents using for the preparation of extracts has a key role in the expression of activity.

Investigations on the accumulation of heavy metals five of the most commercially important fishes in the Parangipettai coastal waters were selected and analyzed for the Zn, Pb, Cr, Co and Cd concentrations in the muscles. The results revealed that the Cr and Zn concentrations were the highest; followed by Pb<Cd<Co being the lowest in the five species of fish tissue. The muscle concentrations of...
