isolation of bacteria from marine sediment in Bidong Island and its antimicrobial properties

Abstract

Purpose of this research are to isolate the bacteria from the marine sediment of Bidong Island, to study the antimicrobial properties of the bacteria and to identify the bioactive isolates by 16S rRNA sequencing. In this research, the marine sediment sample was took via scuba diving. Sampling was done at Vietnam Beach, Bidong Island and marine sediment sample were purified and cultured by using streak plate method. For the preliminary identification, gram staining procedure was applied in order to identify the morphology of the marine bacteria.
