| Summary: | This study focused on isolating and identifying a new bacterial strain from marine water and sediments of Suez
bay, Timsah Lake, Egypt; capable of producing a bioactive secondary metabolite. Of the 552 bacterial isolates
recovered, only 40 of these isolates exhibited antagonistic activities against different bacterial pathogens. A
promising bacterium isolated from Suez bay marine water was identified as Bacillus sp. MH20 using 16S rRNA
sequencing, and deposited in GenBank with accession number KM374670. This isolate showed sequence similarity
of 88% to B. sonorensis strain NBRC 101234. Well-cut diffusion assay was adopted to determine the in vitro
antibacterial activity of the active compound produced by this bacterium; whereas, GC-MS analysis was used to
identify the components of this bioactive substance. GC-MS analysis showed that the active principle might be
Phthalic acid, octyl 2-pentyl ester with retention time of 23.13 min. Crude extract of Bacillus sp. MK20 at a
concentration of 200 mg/l exhibited LC50 of 2.5 ppm against Artemia salina. The aims of the current work were; to
isolate and identify one of the promising bacterial strain from marine water, capable of producing bioactive
antibacterial compound and evaluating its bio-toxicity, for its potential use in the control of bacterial human, animal
and fish diseases. |
