Abstract: | In our ongoing efforts to develop new uses for wood-based waste streams, the growth inhibition activities of extracts obtained from Sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) bark were examined against Heterosigma akashiwo, otherwise known as red tide plankton. The Sugi bark was separated into its outer and inner barks and then extracted sequentially with hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Strong inhibitory activities against H. akashiwo were observed in the tests involving the hexane extract from the inner and outer barks, as well as the ethyl acetate extract from the inner bark. Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) analysis revealed that cubebol, phyllocladanol, 6,7-dehydroferruginol, ferruginol, and sugiol were the main components in the active extracts. These components themselves were then tested for their growth inhibition activities against H. akashiwo. Cubebol and ferruginol showed potent inhibitory activities, whereas phyllocladanol, 6,7-dehydroferruginol, and sugiol were only weakly active. Taken together, these results suggested that the Sugi bark extracts could be used as inhibition reagents against red tide plankton. |
