Abstract:

It has been demonstrated that the decoction of the aerial parts of Tagetes lucida Cav. produces an antidepressant effect during the forced swimming test (FST) in rats. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different organic extracts and one aqueous extract of the aerial parts of T. lucida on the FST. In addition, the possible involvement of the serotonergic system in the antidepressant-like effect of T. lucida in the FST was evaluated, as was its potential toxicological effect. The different extracts of T. lucida (methanol, hexane, dichloromethane and aqueous, 10 and 50 mg/kg), as well as fluoxetine (FLX, 5 mg/kg), were administered per os (p.o.) to rats for 14 days. All animals were subjected to the FST. Only the aqueous extract of T. lucida at a dose of 50 mg/kg significantly reduced immobility behavior and increased swimming in the FST, similar to FLX. Later, the aqueous extract of T. lucida (50mg/kg) was administered for 1, 7 and 14 days. An antidepressant effect was observed after 7 days of treatment. To evaluate the participation of the serotoninergic system, the animals were pretreated with PCPA, an inhibitor of serotonin synthesis (100 mg/kg/day for 4 consecutive days). The animals were treated with the aqueous extract of T. lucida (50 mg/kg) and FLX (5 mg/kg) 24 h after the final injection and were then subjected to the FST. Pretreatment with PCPA inhibited the antidepressant effect of both T. lucida and FLX. Finally, T. lucida was administered p.o. and intraperitoneal route to evaluate its acute toxicological effect. The aqueous extract of T. lucida, administered p.o., did not produce lethality or any significant changes in behavior. In conclusion, the aqueous extract of T. lucida manifested an antidepressant-like effect in the FST mediated by the serotonergic system, with no adverse effects when administered p.o.

Abstract:

Antibiotic resistance increases the search for new strategies to combat the diseases they cause, and the use of medicinal plants represents a highly effective and valuable strategy, such as the use of Tagetes lucida with different gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Objective: To evaluate the biological activity of the hexane extract of the Tagetes lucida plant at different concentrations on the inhibition of growth in plaque and tube of two enterobacteriaceae, Shigella flexneri and Salmonella typhi Methods: In the following work, a hexane extract from Tagetes lucida was evaluated on the growth inhibition of two enterobacteriaceae, Shigella flexneri and Salmonella typhi using different concentrations of vehicle to evaluate if it affected bacterial growth and also different concentrations of extract to evaluate activity. Results: Once the studies were carried out in triplicate, it was possible to specify that from 75µl/µg of extract, almost total inhibition of the growth of both bacteria was achieved, both in the plate method and in the tube method. And from 100 µl/µg total inhibition is achieved. Conclusions: The favorable results obtained with 75 µl/ µg, confirm that medicinal plant extracts are an important strategy to combat multi-drug resistant bacterial infections. On the other hand, it allows a study to be carried out to evaluate the most active metabolites of the extract, as well as the mechanism of action on the inhibition of the growth of the bacteria under study.

Abstract:

Background: Tagetes lucida Cav (T. lucida) is an herbaceous plant from the family Asteraceae, native to Mexico, Guatemala, and other Mesoamerican countries. Their common names are: (i) Spanish names: “hierbanís”, “jericón”, “pericón vomol”, “Santa María”, “cuchrucumín”, “falso hipericón”, “hierba añil”, “pericón”, “periquillo”; (ii) indigenous names: “ichka”, “cuahuyauhtli”, “yahuhtli”, “naná uarhi”, and (iii) English names: “sweet-scented marigold”, “sweet mace”, and “sweet marigold”., Its chemical composition of coumarins, estragole, quercetin, and flavonoids has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a mouthwash made with T. lucida for control of chronic periodontitis (CP) in older adults. Methods: We carried out a quasi-experimental study with a convenience sample of 60 older adults with CP. The sample was divided into a placebo group (PG) n = 30, administered with a mouthwash made with alcohol diluted with purified water (10%), and the experimental group (EG) n = 30 treated with a mouthwash made with T. lucida extract in 10% alcohol; both groups were administered three times a day for three months. Results: We found a significant improvement in the EG group compared with the PG group in: probing pocket depth (baseline, 5.2 ± 0.81 vs. post-treatment, 3.1 ± 0.43, p < 0.05), the clinical attachment loss (baseline, 6.6 ± 1.9 vs. post-treatment, 2.1 ± 1.5, p < 0.05), lipoperoxides (baseline, 0.056 ± 0.03 vs. post-treatment, 0.034 ± 0.02 µmol/L, p < 0.05), and chronic inflammation markers (IL-1, IL-8, and TNF-α) (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that mouthwash made with T. lucida extract, administered three times a day, clinically improved chronic periodontitis in older adults, associated to a significant decrease in lipoperoxides and proinflammatory markers.

Abstract:

Tagetes lucida Cav. (Asteraceae=Compositae) is used for treating stomach infections. The study focused on evaluating the composition and antimicrobial effect of an extract of T. lucida Cav. The plant extracted with ethanol at 10% w/v, and the extract composition analyzed by Rp-HPLC-MS. The antibacterial effect was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella choleraesuis using disk diffusion, microdilution and bioautography methods. The sytox and comet assays were used to evaluate the mechanism of action. In this way, nine phenolic compounds were detected in the extract of T. lucida. The extract exhibited activity only on S. aureus (MIC of 4.000 mg/ml). The bioautography revealed that the phenolic compounds could act synergistically. The sytox and comet tests showed an antibacterial action of the extract on the bacterial membrane and DNA of this bacterial strain.

Abstract:

This study examined the toxicity of anethole and that of the essential oils of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) and sweet marigold (Tagetes lucida) to the mite Varroa destructor and to honey bee workers and larvae. Anethole was the most toxic compound to V. destructor (LC50: 304.9 μg/ml), whereas Tagetes oil was the least toxic (LC50: 1256.27 μg/ml). The most and least toxic compounds to worker bees were anethole and Tagetes oil with LD50s of 35942 and 85381 μg/ml, respectively. For larvae, Tagetes oil was the most toxic compound (LD50: 9580.7 μg/ml) and anethole the least toxic (LD50: 14518.0 μg/ml). Anethole and Cymbopogon oil had the highest selectivity ratios. The expression of AChE, a gene that regulates the production of acetyl cholinesterase, a detoxifying enzyme, was not altered in bees treated with the plant compounds at 48 h post-treatment. This study showed that anethole and Cymbopogon oil have potential for controlling Varroa mites and seem to be relatively safe for larvae and adult honey bees.

Abstract:

Tagetes lucida Cav. (Asteraceae) is an ancient medicinal plant commonly used to alleviate pain. Nevertheless, scientific studies validating this property are lacking in the literature. Animal models of pain were used to evaluate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of T. lucida essential oil (TLEO) and a bioactive metabolite. The chemical constitution and possible toxicity of the extract and the mechanism of action of β-caryophyllene were also explored. Temporal course curves and dose–response graphics were generated using TLEO (0.1–10 mg/kg or 3.16–31.62 mg/kg) and β-caryophyllene (3.16–10 mg/kg). Metamizole (80 mg/kg) and indomethacin (20 mg/kg) were used as reference drugs in the formalin assay and writhing test in rats and mice, respectively. The β-caryophyllene mechanism of action was explored in the presence of naloxone (1 mg/kg), flumazenil (10 mg/kg), WAY100635 (0.16 mg/kg), or nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (20 mg/kg) in the formalin test in rats. GC/MS analysis demonstrated the presence of geranyl acetate (49.89%), geraniol (7.92%), and β-caryophyllene (6.27%). Significant and dose-dependent antinociceptive response was produced by TLEO and β-caryophyllene without the presence of gastric damage. In conclusion, β-caryophyllene was confirmed as a bioactive compound in the T. lucida analgesic properties by involving the participation of receptors like opioids, benzodiazepines, and Serotonin 1A receptor (5-HT1A), as well as nitric oxide.

Abstract:

Tagetes lucida has been used in traditional medicine as a remedy to alleviate several gastrointestinal disorders that provoke stomachaches, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. However, there is not enough scientific evidence that supports these effects. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate antispasmodic and antidiarrheal activities of aqueous extract of T. lucida (AqExt-TL) as well as its mechanism of action in experimental models. Antispasmodic activity and the mechanism of action of AqExt-TL were assessed on segments of the guinea pig ileum precontracted with KCl, acetylcholine (ACh), or electrical field stimulation (EFS). Furthermore, the antispasmodic effect of two coumarins (umbelliferone and herniarin) previously identified in this species was evaluated. Antidiarrheal activity of AqExt-TL was determined using the charcoal meal test in mice. AqExt-TL showed antispasmodic activity in segments of the guinea pig ileum precontracted with KCl (83.7 ± 1.9%) and ACh (77.2 ± 5.3%) at the maximal concentration; however, practically, it did not alter the contractions induced by EFS (10.1 ± 2.2%). Antispasmodic activity of AqExt-TL was not significantly altered by hexamethonium (a ganglionic blocker) or L-NAME (an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase). However, this extract decreased the maximal contractile response to calcium (82.7 ± 8.5%), serotonin (68.1 ± 8.5%), and histamine (63.9 ± 5.9%) in their concentration-response curves. Umbelliferone and herniarin also induced an antispasmodic effect on tissues precontracted with KCl. In addition, low doses of AqExt-TL reduced to 50% the distance traveled by charcoal meal in the gastrointestinal transit model in mice as loperamide, an antidiarrheal agent, did. These results provided evidence of the antispasmodic and antidiarrheal activity of T. lucida, which supports its use in the folk medicine in relieving symptoms in some gastrointestinal disorders. In the antispasmodic effect, the blockade of histaminergic and serotoninergic pathway as well as the calcium channels seems to be involved. Finally, umbelliferone and herniarin could be partially responsible for the antispasmodic activity induced by T. lucida.

Abstract:

La enorme riqueza natural de Tagetes lucida Cav. en el Estado de México no ha sido considerada como objeto de estudios fitoquímicos, una información básica para el desarrollo de bioplaguicidas. En este estudio se determinó la composición química del aceite esencial de poblaciones de T. lucida del norte y sur del Estado de México, donde se detectaron seis tipos de suelo y seis condiciones climáticas. El aceite de tallos florales de 14 poblaciones se obtuvo por hidrodestilación y se analizó por cromatografía de gases y espectrometría de masas (CG/EM) y se identificaron 44 compuestos químicos, 32 % de ellos en poblaciones del norte (9 a 13 compuestos) y 68 % en poblaciones del sur (16 a 23 compuestos). Los rendimientos de aceite esencial fueron de 0.005 a 0.02 % (mL 100 g-1 de tejido seco), en poblaciones del norte, y de 0.0001 a 0.0005 % en las del sur. Los compuestos mayoritarios en poblaciones del norte, de clima templado frío, fueron fenilpropenos: anetol, estragol (35 y 46 %, respectivamente en la población Jilotepec) y metil eugenol (56 y 64 % en poblaciones Acambay y Atlacomulco, respectivamente). En poblaciones del sur, de clima cálido, los compuestos mayoritarios fueron monoterpenos: acetato de geranilo (25 a 33 % en Coatepec Harinas; 12 a 27 % en Villa Guerrero; 23 a 40 % en Ixtapan de la Sal; 31 % en Tonatico y 19 % en Pilcaya) y β-ocimeno (14 a 16 % en Coatepec Harinas; 15 a 23 % en Ixtapan de la Sal y Villa Guerrero; 24 % en Tonatico y Pilcaya). Los compuestos β-mirceno, β-ocimeno y linalool fueron comunes en todas las poblaciones y la presencia acetato de geranilo se reporta por vez primera para el género Tagetes.

La especie T. lucida conocida como ‘pericón’, es un recurso natural de México cuyo aceite esencial tiene propiedades antifúngicas, aunque no en todos los hongos fitopatógenos se ha explorado el efecto que puede ocasionar esta sustancia vegetal. De una población recolectada en Atotonilco el Grande, Hidalgo, México se obtuvo aceite esencial por hidrodestilación con rendimiento de 0.2%; mediante la técnica CG-EM se identificaron ocho componentes diferentes en el aceite, pero los abundantes fueron: estragol (48%) y anetol (35%). También se evaluó la actividad antimicótica in vitro del aceite esencial contra Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum, Penicillium janthinellum y Rhizoctonia solani mediante la técnica de difusión en agar, realizando dos experimentos: el primero ensayando concentraciones de 0, 0.1 y 1% y en el segundo 0, 2 y 3%. La concentración de 1% redujo el crecimiento micelial 46% para F. oxysporum, 39% en R. solani, 21% en A. niger y 16% en P. janthinellum; sin embargo, en concentraciones altas de aceite, como 3%, solo en R. solani se observó la mayor la reducción del crecimiento micelial (72%).

Abstract:

Current antileishmanial drugs are toxic, expensive, and resistance to them has emerged. Several studies have focused on natural products as alternatives. In the present work, the chemical composition, in vitro antileishmanial activity, cytotoxicity effects, and the influence on mitochondrial function of the essential oil from Tagetes lucida Cav. was determined, as well its main compound estragole. Forty-nine compounds were detected in the oil by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), of which estragole was the main constituent (97%). The oil showed inhibition of the promastigotes of L. tarentolae and L. amazonensis (IC50 = 61.4 and 118.8 µg/mL, respectively), decreased oxygen consumption of L. tarentolae, disrupted mitochondrial membrane potential in L. amazonensis, inhibitory activity on the intracellular amastigote of L. amazonensis (IC50 = 14.2 ± 1.6 µg/mL), and cytotoxicity values ranging from 80.8 to 156 µg/mL against murine macrophages and J774 cells. Estragole displayed higher activity on promastigotes (IC50 = 28.5 and 25.5 µg/mL, respectively), amastigotes (IC50 = 1.4 ± 0.1 µg/mL), and cytotoxicity values ranging from 20.6 to 14.5 µg/mL, respectively, while on mitochondria, it caused a decrease of the membrane potential but did not inhibit oxygen consumption. The potential antileishmanial activity of the essential oil from T. lucida and estragole makes these compounds favorable candidates for exploration in further studies.

Abstract:

Tagetes lucida (pericón), T. lunulata (cinco llagas) y T. micrantha (anisillo), especies utilizadas como recurso terapéutico tradicional en el municipio Nicolás Romero, Estado de México, se estudiaron con la fi nalidad de aportar información a la farmacopea herbolaria de México. El trabajo etnobotánico se llevó a cabo por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas a la población en general y para el estudio morfo-anatómico se recolectaron ejemplares en campo. Los tallos y hojas se cortaron a mano alzada y con un micrótomo de rotación y los cortes se tiñeron con safranina-verde rápido. Las especies se reconocieron para tratar dolor de estómago y diarrea, como tranquilizantes y para contrarrestar los cólicos menstruales. La manera frecuente de prepararlas es en infusión. El análisis morfológico mostró que los caracteres que más contribuyen para diferenciar entre especies son los relacionados con la arquitectura foliar. Anatómicamente las especies se distinguen por los tricomas, el arreglo y número de los cordones vasculares del mesofilo en la hoja y por el arreglo del córtex y del esclerénquima en el tallo. Se incluye una clave basada en caracteres morfo-anatómicos.

Abstract:

Los aceites esenciales (AE) se han descrito como agentes bactericidas; sin embargo, estudios in vitro indican que algunos de sus constituyentes volátiles a concentraciones subletales pueden inhibir o promover los sistemas de percepción de quórum (PQ) en Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Es necesario explorar el papel que pueden tener las mezclas de volátiles sobre la virulencia y el establecimiento de la bacteria en sistemas in vivo. Este estudio se llevó a cabo para evaluar las propiedades bactericidas y antivirulencia de AE obtenidos de Thymus vulgaris L., Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf y Tagetes lucida (Cav) contra P. aeruginosa. La actividad antivirulencia se evaluó mediante la inhibición de factores regulados por PQ, como son la producción de piocianina y la actividad de proteasa y elastasa; además, se determinó la composición de volátiles y su capacidad para evitar el establecimiento de la infección en un modelo de lesión en ratones. Los ensayos in vitro mostraron que el AE de T. vulgaris (AETV) únicamente exhibió actividad bactericida y el AE de T. lucida (AETL) redujo la producción de piocianina en 58 % a concentración subletal de 200 μg mL-1. Para el caso del AE de C. citratus no se registró un efecto bactericida a la máxima concentración evaluada (1000 μg mL-1), aunque redujo ligeramente la producción de piocianina (30 %). En los estudios in vivo únicamente el AETL y el Neosporin® (control positivo) interfirieron en el establecimiento de la bacteria, mientras que el AETV, contrario a lo esperado, lo favoreció, principalmente en zonas adyacentes a las lesiones. Se observó una correlación positiva entre el establecimiento de la bacteria y el número de constituyentes presentes en los AE. Estos resultados apoyan el uso de los AE evaluados para combatir P. aeruginosa y su posible aplicación en terapias antivirulencia.

Abstract:

Guatemala as part of Mesoamerica, is a region of high biological and cultural diversity, where several cultures have flourished. Since 1976, a project started for the detection, validation, production, and utilization of medicinal species for primary health care. It included several ethnobotanical surveys conducted among ten Guatemalan ethnical groups. The objective of this paper is to summarize the ethnobotanical surveys conducted in the country and review the literature validating the use of the most promising native species. From these surveys, more than 650 plant species used for medicinal purposes were detected and cultivation activities were conducted for some of these species. Initially, in cooperation with the multidisciplinary teams in Guatemala, and later with other academic institutions in Brazil, Costa Rica, Italy, Mexico, Panama, Spain and United States, in vitro and in vivo validation activities were performed, such as biocidal, anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic, immunomodulatory, antioxidant and other activities. A comprehensive literature review of the most relevant species was performed. Based on the traditional utilization and preclinical or clinical evidence, several national and international projects were conducted. The most interesting results include anti-candida (Solanum nigrescens), antimicrobial (Tagetes lucida), immunomodulator (Phlebodium pseudoaureum), anti-protozoal (Neurolaena lobata), sedative (Valeriana prionophylla), anti-menopause (Piper hispidum) activities and others. With this information and the reviewed literature, specific formulas were prepared for the treatment of different pathologies, leading to several products registered as phytotherapic in Guatemala. Concise updated information is integrated into mini-reviews for 15 species in order to inform about the properties, chemistry and potential use of these species.

Abstract:

Este trabalho documenta a ocorrência de moluscos fósseis carbonáticos em sedimentos da retrobarreira das praias da Pinheira-Guarda-Gamboa, Planície Costeira de Santa Catarina, sul do Brasil, onde foram reconhecidas cinco espécies de gastrópodes e nove de bivalves. Dentre os bivalves, identificaram-se quatro espécies articuladas, Ostrea equestris, Anomalocardia brasiliana, Lucina pectinata e Tagelus plebeius, as três últimas registradas em posição de vida. Datações radiocarbônicas foram realizadas em espécimes articulados e em posição de vida: Lucina pectinata apontando idades convencionais de 5.260 ± 30 anos AP (idade calibrada 5.620 - 5.440), Tagelus plebeius, 5.620 ± 30 anos AP (idade calibrada 6.000 - 5.840) e Ostrea equestris apenas articulado, 5.410 ± 30 anos AP (idade calibrada 5.805 - 5.580), posicionando o material no Holoceno médio. O dado topográfico com equipamento de precisão estabeleceu que o topo do afloramento encontra- -se a 2 m acima do nível relativo atual do mar. A associação indica um ambiente lagunar-estuarino, posteriormente colmatado como resposta ao rebaixamento do nível do mar.

Abstract:

We analyzed qualitatively the malacofauna found in the tidal zones of Banco dos Cajuais and Ilha Grande estuarine complex, both in Ceará State, northeastern Brazil. Qualitative data on the malacofauna from Banco dos Cajuais and the Ilha Grande estuarine complex were obtained by systematic sampling in 2008 and 2009 during field activities for the “Migratory Shorebirds Conservation and Shrimp Farming in Northeast Brazil” project. Twenty-two species of mollusks (13 bivalves and 9 gastropods) were found in Banco dos Cajuais, and 25 species (18 bivalves and 7 gastropods) were found in the Ilha Grande estuarine complex. Four species, Lucina muricata (Spengler, 1798), Tagelus divisus (Lightfoot, 1786), Crassinella martinicensis (d’Orbigny, 1853), and Periploma ovata Kuroda and Horikoshi, 1958 were recorded from Ceará for the first time.

Abstract:

Favorable agro-climatic conditions and comparatively cheaper and readily available human resources offer a promising business opportunity to cut flower production in Pakistan. Presently, growers are limited to traditional cut flower crops such as rose (Rosa hybrids), gladiolus (Gladiolus hybrids), marigold (Tagetes erecta), and tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) because of unavailability of improved new species and cultivars. To diversify cut flower production in Pakistan, a study was conducted to evaluate the production and postharvest performance of different cultivars of delphinium (Delphinium hybrids), snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus), and stock (Matthiola incana) in Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. ‘Guardian White’ delphinium had the shortest time to harvest first marketable stems (160 days) with comparatively shorter stems (87.7 cm). Whereas ‘Aurora White’ and ‘Aurora Blue’ were high-temperature tolerant and produced attractive racemes with longer stems; 112.0 and 99.7 cm, respectively. All cultivars lasted about 7 days in distilled water (DW). ‘Cheerful White’ stock had the shortest cropping time and produced highest quality double flowers with longest stems (51.8 cm) compared with other cultivars tested. Vase solution of 4% sucrose supplemented with 100 mg·L−1 silver nitrate (AgNO3) extended the vase life of ‘Cheerful White’ stock up to 11.8 days compared with 8.2 days in DW. Pulsing with 10% sucrose supplemented with 100 mg·L−1 AgNO3 extended the longevity of ‘Lucinda Dark Rose Double’ stock (10.2 days) similar to vase solution of 4% sucrose plus 100 mg·L−1 AgNO3; however, ‘Lucinda Dark Rose Double’ stock produced shorter stems than ‘Cheerful White’. ‘Appleblossom’ snapdragon produced >10 marketable stems per plant with highest quality attractive flowers, and stout stems, which lasted 10.8 days in 4% sucrose vase solution supplemented with 100 mg·L−1 AgNO3. Among tested species/cultivars, all exotic species/cultivars produced uniform high quality stems resulting in higher productivity as compared with local cultivars and were favorably appraised by flower growers/retailers and are best suited for diversification of local cut flower industry.

Abstract:

AbstractA particular type of miniature ceramic vessel locally known as “veneneras” is occasionally found during archaeological excavations in the Maya Area. To date, only one study of a collection of such containers successfully identified organic residues through coupled chromatography–mass spectrometry methods. That study identified traces of nicotine likely associated with tobacco. Here we present a more complete picture by analyzing a suite of possible complementary ingredients in tobacco mixtures across a collection of 14 miniature vessels. The collection includes four different vessel forms and allows for the comparison of specimens which had previously formed part of museum exhibitions with recently excavated, untreated containers. Archaeological samples were compared with fresh as well as cured reference materials from two different species of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum and N. rustica). In addition, we sampled six more plants which are linked to mind-altering practices through Mesoamerican ethnohistoric or ethnographic records. Analyses were conducted using UPLC-MS metabolomics-based analytical techniques, which significantly expand the possible detection of chemical compounds compared to previous biomarker-focused studies. Results include the detection of more than 9000 residual chemical features. We trace, for the first time, the presence of Mexican marigold (Tagetes lucida) in presumptive polydrug mixtures.

Abstract:

O manguezal do Rio Formoso localizado a 76 Km da cidade de Recife ocupa uma extensão estuarina de 12 Km. Associado a esse manguezal encontra-se uma rica fauna de moluscos, peixes e crustáceos, os quais constituem recursos econômicos de grande relevância para parte da população. Estudos nesse manguezal foram desenvolvidos visando a obtenção de dados sobre as principais espécies de moluscos que ocorrem na área e que são objetos da pesca artesanal, bem como realizar um levantamento sócio-econômico das marisqueiras, pescadoras principais desse ecossistema, que vem sofrendo acelerado processo de degradação, com a finalidade de implantar um projeto de melhoria na qualidade de vida. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida no período de setembro/1998 a agosto/1999, sendo as coletas de moluscos realizadas em 6 perfis ao longo do manguezal. Dados de salinidade e sedimentos foram coletados para fins comparativos com os moluscos. Informações sócio-econômicas foram obtidos através da aplicação de questionários. Os moluscos de importância econômica pescados são todos da classe Bivalvia: Anomalocardia brasiliana (Gmelin,1791), Lucina pectinata (Gmelin, 1791), Tagelus plebeius (Lightfoot, 1786), Crassostrea rhizophorae (Guilding, 1828), Mytella falcata (Orbigny, 1842), Iphigenia brasiliana (Lamarck,1818). A renda familiar é de menos de um salário mínimo para 80% das marisqueiras entrevistadas. Quanto ao tipo de moradia 60% vive em casa de adobe não revestida. Os moluscos mais pescados são Tagelus plebeius (26%) e Mytella falcata (25%). Quando questionadas sobre impactos no manguezal, 50% das entrevistadas alegam como maior problema a grande quantidade de esgotos lançados no rio. Palavras chave: Manguezal, malacofauna, pesca artesanal, Rio Formoso, Pernambuco.
