    Diversity of bacterial community associated with marine ascidians from Bidong Island, Terengganu
    (Terengganu: Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2014-05) Nur Azna Saari
    Microbial diversity has been well documented for many marine invertebrate taxa. However, little attention has been given to the examination of microbial–tunicates associations. In the present study, the microbial diversity of marine tunicates was assessed by using both culture-dependent and culture-independent method. Two species of tunicates from Clavelina sp. and Didemnum sp., have been collected from Bidong Island, Terengganu, during pre-monsoon (October) and post-monsoon seasons (May). Bacteria were isolated by serial dilutions and characterized based on colony and cell morphology.

    Mud crabs are among the commercially important aquatic animals because of high demand in Asian countries. Currently, one of the main constraints for expansion of mud crab aquaculture is the inconsistent and low hatchery production of crab juveniles. The use of beneficial bacteria offers a promising approach in aquaculture to prevent infections by pathogenic bacteria, and has been shown to help reduce mortality after infection. The goals of this study were to isolate, identify and evaluate potential probiotic bacteria from the gut of wild orange mud crab from Setiu Wetlands, Terengganu.
