In this study we isolated and characterized some culturable bacteria from tropical coastal waters of Peninsular Malaysia. We obtained between 0.23 and 1.85 × 103 cfu mL–1 in the Zobell 2216E medium, and cultured 0.04% to 0.12% of total bacterial counts. Different bacterial strains were then selected...

| Riassunto: | In this study we isolated and characterized some culturable bacteria from tropical coastal waters of Peninsular Malaysia. We obtained between 0.23 and 1.85 × 103 cfu mL–1 in the Zobell 2216E medium, and cultured 0.04% to 0.12% of total bacterial counts. Different bacterial strains were then selected by 16S rDNA RFLP using four restriction enzymes (DdeI, HhaI, RsaI, and Sau3AI), of which HhaI gave the most RFLP patterns. A total of 54 unique strains were obtained and these were identified by their 16S rDNA gene sequence. These bacterial strains could be divided into five classes: 38 strains of γ-Proteobacteria (61.1%); 3 strains of α-Proteobacteria (5.5%); 2 strains of the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides group (3.7%); 3 strains of high GC, Gram-positive bacteria (5.5%); and 13 strains of low GC, Gram-positive bacteria (24.1%). These isolates have good potential for further biotechnological studies since about 56% of the isolates exhibited amylase activity, whereas 36% and 18% of the isolates had protease and lipase, respectively. Most (>70%) of the isolates also produced poly-ß-hydroxybutyrate.
En este estudio se aislaron y caracterizaron algunas bacterias cultivables de las aguas costeras tropicales de Malasia Peninsular. Se obtuvieron entre 0.23 y 1.85 × 103 ufc mL–1 en medio de cultivo Zobell 2216E, y se cultivaron 0.04% a 0.12% de los conteos totales de bacterias. Se seleccionaron diferentes cepas bacterianas mediante RFLP del gen 16S rDNA usando cuatro enzimas de restricción (DdeI, HhaI, RsaI y Sau3AI), de las cuales HhaI produjo más patrones de RFLP. Se obtuvieron un total de 54 cepas singulares, las cuales fueron identificadas por su secuencia 16S rDNA. Estas cepas bacterianas fueron divididas en cinco clases: 38 cepas de γ-proteobacterias (61.1%), 3 cepas de α-proteobacterias (5.5%), 2 cepas del grupo Cytophaga-Flavobacter-Bacteroides (3.7%), 3 cepas de bacterias Gram positivas con alto contenido de GC (5.5%) y 13 cepas de bacterias Gram positivas con bajo contenido de GC (24.1%). Estos aislados tienen un buen potencial para futuros estudios biotecnológicos ya que 56% de ellos presentaron actividad de la enzima amilasa, mientras que 36% y 18% presentaron actividad de las enzimas proteasa y lipasa, respectivamente. La mayoría (>70%) de los aislados produjeron poli-ß-hidroxibutirato. |
