Isolation and molecular characterization of marine bacteria
The isolation and molecular characterization of marine bacteria have been extensively explored in various marine environments. Studies have focused on different aspects such as the production of bioactive compounds, crude oil degradation, pigment extraction, and methane hydrate-associated microbial communities. Marine bacteria like Paenibacillus dendritiformis, Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus , Brevibacillus sp., Paenibacillus sp., Bacillus sp., and Pseudomonas fluorescens complex have been identified and characterized. Additionally, Actinomycetes from marine sediments have shown potential in producing novel bioactive compounds with antibacterial properties . Techniques like 16s rDNA sequencing, FTIR, GC-MS analysis, and genomic assays have been employed to characterize these marine bacteria, highlighting their diverse metabolic capabilities and potential applications in biotechnology and environmental remediation.
