Interest in the relationship between bacteria and marine organisms is growing these days due to its potential in pharmaceutical industries. As one of the superior invertebrates in an entropic environment, it is crucial to identify marine bacteria associated with horseshoe crabs and the compound produced which is believed to have antibacterial agents. A total of 62 bacterial isolates were successfully isolated from T. gigas collected in Pahang, Malaysia and identified. The marine bacteria were isolated and selected potential bacteria which show antibacterial activity against test strains Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Salmonella thypimurium were observed. |
