An extracellular agarase was purified from Bacillus sp. BI-3, a thermophilic agar-degrading bacterium isolated from a hot spring in Indonesia. The purified agarase revealed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, with an apparent molecular mass of 58 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature of the agarase were 6.4 and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively. The activity of the agarase was stable at high temperatures, and more than 50% activity was retained at $80^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. Furthermore, the enzyme was stable in the pH range of 5.8-8.0, and more than 60% of the residual activity was retained. Significant activation of the agarase was observed in the presence of $K^+$, $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Sr^{2+}$; on the other hand, $Ba^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, and EDTA inhibited or inactivated the enzyme activity. The components of the hydrolytic product analyzed by thin-layer chromatography showed that the agarase mainly produced neoagarobiose. This study is the first to present evidence of agarolytic activity in aerobic thermophilic bacteria.

The effect of surimi gel containing the useful polysaccharides(WSP and CBP) from marine bacterium Zoogloea sp. were investigated. The optimum polysaccharide concentration, pH, and salt concentration of both WSP and CBP were 0.02 %, 7.5 and 1.5 %(w/w), respectively. The properties of surimi gel containing WSP and CBP significantly (p < 0.05) lower than control. The breaking force, whiteness and deformation of surimi gel containing WSP and CBP higher than control.

We isolated marine bacterium, isolate DG-2 which produces the antibiotics against MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). This isolate DG-2 was examined by its morphological, biochemical properties, and 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. And then, isolate DG-2 was identified to the genus Streptomyces. Therefore, this isolate was designated as Streptomyces sp. DG-2. Streptomyces sp. DG-2 grew relatively well at $25^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0, and NaCl 1.0%. For the pre-purification of the bioactive compounds, DG-2 was fermented in 30 L PPES-II medium, and the culture filtrates of DG-2 was extracted by ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extract of DG-2 showed the significant anti-MRSA and antibacterial activities.

A phenanthrene-degrading bacterium was isolated from an oil-spilled intertidal sediment sample and identified as Sphingomonas sp. KH3-2. The strain degraded polycyclic aromatic compounds such naphthalene, fluorene, biphenyl, and dibenzothiophene. When strain KH3-2 was cultured for 28 days at 25C, a total of 500 ppm of phenanthrene was degrated with a concomitant production of biomass and Folin-Ciocalteau reactive aromatic intermediates. Analysis of intermediates during phenanthrene degradation using high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry indicated that Sphingomonas sp. KH3-2 primarily degrades phenanthrene to 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (1H2NA) and further metabolizes 1H2NA through the degradation pathway of naphthalene.

Antibiotics are substances produced by microorganisms that kill or inhibit and are essential for infectious diseases management. This study aimed to provide basic data for overcoming antibiotic resistance in the marine bacterium LJ-18. The API 20NE and API 50CH kits were used to identify this microorganism. Morphological, physiological, and biochemical properties were investigated using MacFaddin's manuals. Subsequently, isolated LJ-18 was found to belong to a genus of Streptomyces that forms mycelia. LJ-18 also grew well at 28-32℃ on modified Bennett's agar. To isolate and purify the antibacterial compound, LJ-18 culture was divided into ethyl acetate and distilled water fractions. Considerable antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic microorganisms, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), was confirmed in the C₁₈ ODS open column fractions. Peak 2 compound was obtained using reversed-phase HPLC. As a result, this compound had a significant antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic microorganisms. In particular, it showed strong activity against MRSA, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus.

A Gram-negative, aerobic, motile by gliding, and rod-shaped marine bacterium, designated CE67^T was isolated from the marine sponge Callyspongia elegans on Biyang-do in Jeju Island. The CE67^T strain grew optimally at 25℃, pH 7.5, and in the presence of 2-3% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain CE67^T was related to the genus Aureivirga and had the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the Aureivirga marina VIII.04^T type strain (96.3%). The primary fatty acids (>10%) of strain CE67^T were iso-C_15:0 (35.3%) and iso-C_17:0 3OH (21.8%). The polar lipid profile of strain CE67^T contained phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified aminolipids, and unidentified lipids. The predominant menaquinone was MK-6. The DNA G+C content was 29.1 mol%. Based on the polyphasic taxonomic analysis, strain CE67^T was determined to be a representative novel species of the genus Aureivirga for which we propose the name Aureivirga callyspongiae sp. nov., whose strain type is CE67^T (=KCTC 42847^T=JCM 34566^T).

The symbiotic nature of the relationship between algae and marine bacteria is well-studied among the complex microbial interactions. The mutual profit between algae and bacteria occurs via nutrient and vitamin exchange. It is necessary to analyze the genome sequence of a bacterium to predict its symbiotic relationships. In this study, the genome of a marine bacterium, Pseudoruegeria sp. M32A2M, isolated from the south-eastern isles (GeoJe-Do) of South Korea, was sequenced and analyzed. A draft genome (91 scaffolds) of 5.5 Mb with a DNA G+C content of 62.4% was obtained. In total, 5,101 features were identified from gene annotation, and 4,927 genes were assigned to functional proteins. We also identified transcription core proteins, RNA polymerase subunits, and sigma factors. In addition, full flagella-related gene clusters involving the flagellar body, motor, regulator, and other accessory compartments were detected even though the genus Pseudoruegeria is known to comprise non-motile bacteria. Examination of annotated KEGG pathways revealed that Pseudoruegeria sp. M32A2M has the metabolic pathways for all seven vitamin Bs, including thiamin (vitamin B1), biotin (vitamin B7), and cobalamin (vitamin B12), which are necessary for symbiosis with vitamin B auxotroph algae. We also identified gene clusters for seven secondary metabolites including ectoine, homoserine lactone, beta-lactone, terpene, lasso peptide, bacteriocin, and non-ribosomal proteins.

최근 남해안 적조의 주요 원인생물인 C. polykrikoides를 살조 시키는 해양세균을 마산만의 적조발생 해역에서 분리, 동정하고 살조범위를 조사하였다. 분리 균주 중 살조활성이 우수한 Micrococcus sp. LG-5의 성장 특성과 살조효과에 대해 조사하여 해양 미생물을 이용한 자연생태 조화형, 환경 친화적 적조방제 기술 개발의 기초 자료를 제공하고자 연구한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 살조세균 Micrococcus sp. LG-5의 최적 성장조건은 $25^{\circ}C, NaCl 3.0{\%}, pH 7.0$이었으며, C. polykrikoides ($1.2{\times}10^4 cells/ml$)에 대한 Micrococcus sp. LG-5의 성장단계에 따른 배양여과액의 살조활성은 대수증식기 후기 및 정지기에 강하였다 대수증식기에는 C. polyklikoides를 $100{\%}$, 정지기에는 $82{\~}92{\%}$, 대수증식기 중기에는 $40{\~}80{\%}$, 유도기에는 $5{\%}$ 이하의 살조활성을 보여 Micrococcus sp. LG-5는 유도기를 거쳐 대수증식기에 살조물질을 활발히 생산하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 $0.4{\mu}m$의 cell culture insert를 삽입한 2조배양계를 이용하여 Micrococcus sp. LG-5의 살조유형을 조사한 결과, Micrococcus sp. LG-5는 $0.4{\mu}m filter$에 의해 C. polykirkoides와 격리된 상태에서도 C. polykirkoides를 살조시켜, 세포외로 물질을 분비하여 살조시키는 살조물질 분비형으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 Micrococcus sp. LG-5의 배양여과액의 최종농도가 $5{\%}, 10{\%}$가 되도록 첨가한 경우, C. polykrikoides의 개체수는 급격히 감소하여 3시간 경과 후에 centrol에 비해 각각 $30{\%}$와 $85{\%}$정도가 살조되었으며, $1{\%}$의 경우, 30시간 후에 $90{\%}$ 이상 살조되었다. 즉, Micrococcus sp. LG-5의 배양여과액의 양에 비례하여 살조효과가 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 배양여과액 중에 C. polykrikoides를 사멸시키는 살조물질이 존재함을 알 수가 있었다.
