Abstract

Antimicrobial Activity of Ircinia sp; a Marine Sponge and Its Associated Bacteria from Andaman Coast

Highlights

  • The marine environment is an exceptional reservoir of bioactive natural products, many of which exhibit structural/chemical features not found in terrestrial natural products

  • A total of 28 bacterial isolates associated with the marine sponge, Ircinia sp. collected from North Bay, Andaman were screened for their antimicrobial activity against selected pathogens viz., Aeromonas hydrophila, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus durans, Streptococcus lentus, Klebsiella

  • The total heterotrophic bacteria associated with the sponge, Ircinia sp. was found to be 5.8 x 106 cfu gm–2
