Marine environment remained as largely unexplored source for researchers to discover marine microorganisms with novel properties. This study aims to isolate marine bacteria from the seashore of Desaru, Malaysia. Totally, six bacterial strains were successfully obtained and were identified by complete 16S rRNA sequencing. The characterizations of bacterial strains were performed based on morphological tests, Gram-staining, biochemical tests, and antibiotic sensitivity. The 16S rRNA sequence of D-2, D-4, D-7, D-15, D-31, and D-33 revealed a high identity of 97 to 99% with taxa belong to genera of Pseudomonas, Marinomonas, Exiquobacterium, Micrococcus, Pseudoalteromonas, and Shewanella respectively. Strain D-31 exhibited higher tolerance towards antibiotics kanamycin, ampicillin, and erythromycin while the growth of other strains were retarded by at least two of these antibiotics. We further characterized strain D-4 and D-31 that belonged to Marinomonas sp. and Pseudoalteromonas sp.. Both genera are interesting as earlier researchers have discovered new antibacterial substances, industrial enzymes and unique secondary metabolites.

Biofilm forming bacteria are omnipresent in the marine environment. Pseudoalteromonas is one of the largest within the γ-proteobacteria class, and a member of marine bacteria. Species of Pseudoalteromonas are generally found in association with marine eukaryotes. In this work, we present the isolation and characterization of two strains forming biofilm on rock surface and associated with marine sponge. They were identified using 16SrDNA as Pseudoalteromonas prydzensis alex, and Pseudoalteromonas sp. alex. They showed the highest titer in biofilm formation quantified using the test tube method using crystal violet.
