Isolation, characterization and screening for anti-microbial properties of heterotrophic bacteria from Haliclona koremella and its ambient seawater
A total of 87 heterotrophic bacteria isolated from Haliclona koremella and its ambient seawater were characterized in terms of their colonial, microscopic and biochemical characteristics. In terms of the colonial morphology, most colonies exhibited white or cream pigmentation, rounded shape, uneleva...
