The aim of the study is to investigate which groups are been produced by mangrove associated bacterial species and to check the effectiveness of the solvents in extracting specific bioactive compound groups. Mangrove associated microbial habitat are proven to produce potential bioactive compounds. In the present study, mangrove plants associated Bacillus spp. were bulk grown in the culture broth and the phytochemicals produced were extracted using various solvents viz. butanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate and hexane. The phytochemical testing of these extracts discovered that butanol extracted alkaloid and emodin group of phytochemicals, chloroform extracted phytosterols, anthraquinones and leucoanthrocyanins, hexane extracted phytosterol and emodin groups of bioactive compounds and ethyl acetate extracted phytosterols. The experiment was carried out thrice and every time the results obtained were the same. According to the previous studies we can say that these phytochemicals can be used for new drug discovery and for formulating various pharmaceutical products. Further advanced research on the purification and identification of these compounds can be carried out using techniques like GC-MS and column chromatography. These compounds can further be tested and applied to specific applications.
