Description 337-339
The culturable epibacterial abundance in the ascidians Eudistoma viride and Didemnum psammathodes was studied and correlated with their antifouling activity. The epibacterial abundance varied significantly between E. viride and D. psammathodes. The antibacterial assay of the crude extracts of the ascidians showed inhibitory activity against all the 20 biofilm bacteria. However, E. viride showed prominent antibacterial activity than that of D. psammathodes with an average inhibition zone of 29.1 mm. The comparison between epibacterial abundance and the antifouling activity showed an interesting significant negative correlation [-0.910 (P
