Deoxyribonuclease (DNase) activity was found in the culture fluids of numerous marine bacteria isolated from seawater. Among these organisms, marine bacterium, Vibrio sp., strain No. 2, showed the highest deoxyribonucleic acid – hydrolyzing activity. This organism requires salts of seawater for both growth and extracellular DNase formation. The DNase activity could not be detected in the synthetic seawater culture liquid lacking magnesium ion, and DNase activity decreased in a calcium-deficient medium. The optimum temperature for the growth of this organism was between 15 and 25 °C. The formation of extracellular DNase was the greatest at 20 °C and less activity was found at 10 and 30 °C.

There is an information how to identify hydrocarbon degrading bacteria for bioremediation of marine oil spill. We have Bioremediation treatment for degradation of oil spill on Pari island and need two kind of experiment there are tanks experiment (sampling 0 to 90 days) and semi enclosed system (sampling 0 to 150 days). Biostimulation with nutrients (N and P) was done to analyze biodegradation of hydrocarbon compounds. Experiment design using fertilizer Super IB and Linstar will stimulate bacteria can degrade oil, n-alkane, and alkane as poly aromatic hydrocarbon. The bacteria communities were monitored and analyzed by Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) and Clone Library; oil chemistry was analyzed by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS). DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) was extracted from colonies of bacteria and sequence determination of the 16S rDNA was amplified by primers U515f and U1492r. Strains had been sequence and had similarity about 90-99% to their closest taxa by homology Blast search and few of them suspected as new species. The results showed that fertilizers gave a significant effect on alkane, PAH and oil degradation in tanks experiment but not in the field test. Dominant of the specific bacteria on this experiment were Alcanivorax, Marinobacter and Prosthecochloris. Keywords: Bioremediation, Biostimulation, DGGE, PAH, Pari Island
