Abstract: Bacterial control in aquaculture water system is important because the most prominent problem faced in this system is the high mortality rate caused by uncontrolled bacterial infections. The current measures used to control bacterial infection poses a disadvantage under long term use as it not only affects the environment but humans as well. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)], a bacteria-derived biodegradable polymer was investigated for its potential to act as a matrix for immobilizing antimicrobial agents. The prolonged immobilization of antimicrobial agents on a biodegradable matrix will enable improved inhibition of potentially pathogenic microorganisms in an eco-friendly approach.
