Taxonomical studies of a polysaccharide-producing bacterium associates with brown seaweed, (Dictyota sp.)

Abstract

The brown seaweed genus (Phaeophyceae, Dictyotales) is known to produce polysaccharide from a wide variety of bacteria species associated with the seaweed. This study delves upon isolation and production of polysaccharide from bacteria associated with brown seaweed. The seaweed was taken from Bidong Island.
