Abstract:
The study of actinomycetes from marine sediment is essential in order to determine
antibiofilm agents which ecosystem friendly. Good antibiofilm agents are which may
inhibit formation of biofilm without killing the organism itself. Therefore as a
preliminary investigation of this type of anti-biofilm, anti-bacteria bioassay was used
to check the toxicity of the compound produces by the isolated actinomycetes. Hence,
these studies were carried out to isolate Actinomycetes from marine sediment and
determine their antibacterial and antibiofim activities. Then, the potential
actinomycetes strains determined by 16S rRNA and morphology studies. From the
present study, different actinomycetes strains (Label Actino 1-6) were recovered from
marine sediment samples collected from Bidong Island, Terengganu.
