Abstract:
Marine bacteria used in this studied were sampled in Bidong Island's water of
Terengganu. It was taken from stock cultured in Laboratory of Institute of Marine
Biotechnology (1MB). The bacteria were identified and were used for the production of
crude polysaccharide. The product (crude polysaccharide), used to determined the sugar
components present in the samples by using High Performance Liquid Chromatography
(HPLC) and Paper Chromatography (PC). The selected bacteria were identified as
Pseudomonas oryzihabitans by using RapID
NF PLUS species identification kit. The
polysaccharides yielded from the bacteria were about 265mg per 1 L culture for every
batch. The analysis of sugar component in the crude polysaccharides; glucose and
mannose were observed as its monomer.
