Characterization of exopolysaccharides produced by Bacillus cereus and Brachybacterium sp. isolated from Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer)
Aims: EPS extracted from marine bacteria, which associat ed with Asian sea bass has potential antimicrobial activities. Methodology and Results: Two marine Bacteria were isolated from Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) obtained from aquaculture farm, located at Johor bahru Malaysia. 16S rRNA analysis...
