    Antibiofilm and antibacteria activities of marine sediment actinomycetes from Bidong Island Terengganu
    (Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2014) Maizatul Azrina Yaakob
    The study of actinomycetes from marine sediment is essential in order to determine antibiofilm agents which ecosystem friendly. Good antibiofilm agents are which may inhibit formation of biofilm without killing the organism itself. Therefore as a preliminary investigation of this type of anti-biofilm, anti-bacteria bioassay was used to check the toxicity of the compound produces by the isolated actinomycetes. Hence, these studies were carried out to isolate Actinomycetes from marine sediment and determine their antibacterial and antibiofim activities. Then, the potential actinomycetes strains determined by 16S rRNA and morphology studies. From the present study, different actinomycetes strains (Label Actino 1-6) were recovered from marine sediment samples collected from Bidong Island, Terengganu.
