Physiological Characteristic Analysis of Marine Microorganisms

Different marine microorganisms (fungi, slime molds, bacteria and microalgae) have been isolated, producing compounds with antioxidant, antibacterial, apoptotic, antitumor, and antiviral activities. Many special enzymes are extracted from marine microorganisms, such as halophilic enzymes, barophilic enzymes, psychrophilic enzymes, thermophilic enzymes, acidophilic enzymes, alkalophilic enzymes, etc., which promote economic development and social progress. The marine microorganisms must be cultured in seawater, which is rich in various inorganic salts and trace elements. In addition to sodium, which is necessary for the growth and metabolism of marine microorganisms, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, and other trace elements are also required for the growth of certain marine microorganisms. This phenomenon shows that the conventional plate method is not an ideal method to isolate marine microorganisms. In order to accurately isolate, identify, and detect marine microorganisms, the expert team of CD BioSciences provides physiological characteristic analysis of marine microorganisms and formulates suitable marine microorganism culture plans.

Our Services

Understanding the susceptibility of microorganisms to the environment as well as their physiological characteristics is obviously crucial during marine microbial culture. This is not straightforward because the physiological characteristics of organisms vary widely, not only between species but also between strains. CD BioSciences provides physiological characteristic analysis of marine microorganisms, and our services are listed as follows:

• Halophilic Analysis of Marine Microorganisms
  The optimum salinity for typical marine microbial growth is 20~40 and does not grow in the absence of sodium chloride.
• Barophilicity Analysis of Marine Microorganisms
  Bacteria and archaea isolated and cultured from the deep sea can withstand high pressure and grow in the range of 1 to 400 atmospheres. CD BioSciences utilizes special technology to collect samples into pressurized vessels and cultivate more obligate barophiles.
• Psychrophilic Analysis of Marine Microorganisms
  Psychrophilic bacteria can only grow in a narrow temperature range, while psychrotolerant bacteria can grow in a wider temperature range. CD BioSciences' scientists analyze differences in bacterial cell membrane structure through genetic and protein analysis.
• Avoidance Analysis of Marine Microorganisms
  Many marine bacteria and archaea have one or more flagella that allow them to swim. CD BioSciences uses the number and location of marine bacterial flagella as important indicators of bacterial species classification.
• Polymorphism Analysis of Marine Microorganisms
  When our scientists observe the morphology of marine bacteria under the microscope, sometimes in the pure culture of the same strain of bacteria can simultaneously observe multiple shapes, such as spherical, ellipsoid, rod-shaped, and other irregular cells.
