Description 498-502
Surface associated bacteria of marine algae have a role to play in
antifouling strategy for marine algae. In the present study, totally 15
epiphytic bacterial isolates were obtained from two marine algae of Kovalam
Beach, Chennai, India, using specially designed media. Among 15, 2 epiphytic
bacterial isolates (SC2 and SC3) from Stoechospermum
polypodioides showed maximum zone of inhibition against fouling bacteria in
the antibacterial well diffusion assay method. Attempt was made to identify
positive antifoulers by their morphological, biochemical and molecular
characteristics. Results of the present study revealed that the positive
antifoulers were Vibrio sp. and Exiguobacterium sp. and may have a role
to play as antifouling agent for Stoechospermum
polypodioides.
