Abstract:
Emergence of antibiotic resistance among aquaculture
pathogens has made it necessary to look into environment
friendly, effective and sustainable methods such as probiotic
and immunostimulants among others.. In the present study,
LAB were isolated from the gut of fish species namely Rastrelliger
kanagurta and analyzed for their antibacterial activity against
various fish, shrimp and human pathogens. Different LAB
species such as Lactobacillus plantarum, L. bulgaricus, L. brevis
and L. viridiscens were encountered in the gut of R. kanagurta.
Several strains showed good activity against fish, shrimp and
human pathogens. LAB from the gut of such marine species
may be developed as possible probiont for environment friendly
health management of fresh water, estuarine and marine
species currently exploited in aquaculture

Abstract:
Considering the extent of warming in the artic region and the resultant changes in the dynamic marine enviornments there is a need to monitor the bacterial diversity in the fjord enviornments especially in terms of cultivable bacteria. The present study reports the diversity of cultivable hetrotrophic bacteria from the water and sediment samples of kongsfjord their growth responses to important enviornmental variables and ability to produce industrially important hydrolytic enzymes.

Abstract:
The growth kinetics of an aerial bacterial colony on solid agar media was studied using laser
induced fluorescence technique. Fluorescence quenching of Rhodamin B by the bacterial colony was utilized
for the study. The lag phase, log phase, and stationary phase of growth curve of bacterial colony was identified
by measuring peak fluorescence intensity of dye doped bacterial colony.
