Abstract
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.
