Isolation and Polyphasic Investigation of the Carotenoids-Producing Marine Bacterium from Trachurus murphyi Chile Fishery

Abstract

The pelagic fishery locates the wide international public sea regions and contains huge resource and technical benefits. The increasingly greater potential for exploitation of new marine microbes resource in these special sea areas has become conspicuous. Carotenoids are one of the most widely distributed and structurally diverse classes of natural pigments in plants, microorganisms and animals, performing important biological functions. The marine contains abundant biological resources and has great potential to be explored for the carotenoid resource. In this paper we reported the isolation and polyphasic investigation of the new carotenoids-producing marine bacteria from Trachurus murphyi Chile Fishery. The result has showed that marine bacterial isolated from Trachurus murphyi Chile fishery demonstrated good potential for the further exploration for bioactive carotenoids.
