Chandra B. Maurya* and Sarika Chhabria Talreja
ABSTRACT
Meretrix casta is a marine clam found along both the coasts of India. Earlier commonly distributed, it has recently received a rare status by International Union of Conservation highlighting the need for more scientific studies on it using modern molecular tools. The present study reports antimicrobial activity of the extract prepared from this bivalve mussel using petroleum ether. Phylogenetic analysis of the mussel was carried out using the sequence of the amplified 18S rRNA gene and comparing it with the nucleotide database. Thin layer chromatography of the bioactive extract revealed the presence of steroids.
