摘要

This study focuses on the isolation, identification, and biochemical characterization of biofilm-forming bacteria thriving on fiberglass surfaces in the Persian Gulf, with Bandar Abbas as a case study, specifically Martyr Haqqani Port. Samples were collected and processed using standard microbiological techniques, followed by morphological and biochemical analyses. Molecular techniques, such as 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene sequencing, were used for species identification. 16S rRNA amplicons were sequenced for 5 isolates from the surface samples studied, and all 5 isolates, predominantly belonging to the genera Alteromonas sp., Phaeobacter italicus, and Phaeobacter sp., showed high biofilm activities. Besides their biofilm-forming ability, the isolated bacterial strains displayed antibacterial properties against various pathogenic organisms. Agar well diffusion assays revealed different levels of inhibitory effects on these pathogens, indicating that the isolated biofilm-forming bacteria synthesize antimicrobial bioactive compounds. Furthermore, biochemical assays provided information on metabolic characteristics of the isolates. This research brings insights into the microbial ecology of marine biofilms in the Persian Gulf, particularly their potential for producing bioactive antimicrobial compounds. It advances our understanding of marine biofilm ecosystems and their ecological roles, with potential applications in marine industries where biofilm formation and antimicrobial properties may be leveraged for innovative solutions.
