Abstract:

Two coral reef sediment samples were collected from the coral reef growth areas of Khai Island and Pathiu Island After the samples were pretreated, six kinds of separation medium were adopted to obtain the active Marine bacterial strains. Through PCR amplification and 16s rRNA gene sequencing, species diversity was analyzed and phylogenetic trees were constructed. The effect of fermentation extract of Caenorhabditis elegans strain on senescence was investigated. The results showed that 22 strains of bacteria were isolated and identified from four samples, belonging to 11 orders, 13 families and 14 genera. There were two strains of bacteria with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity less than 98.65 %, which were suspected to be potential new species. The crude extracts of 500 μg·mL -1bacteria from GXIMD014 (Vibrio galatheae) and GXIMD112 (Kocuria kristinae) have the activity of delaying the aging of Caenorhabditis elegans, and can prolong the life of Caenorhabditis elegans to different degrees, improve the oviposition, motility, heat-induced injury, ability to resist oxidative damage, enzyme activity in vivo, and improve the epidermal morphology of Caenorhabditis elegans. Coral reef sediment bacteria of Khai Island and Pathiu Island have high species diversity and rich microbial and bacterial resources, and some bacterial strains have anti-aging biological activity.

Key words: coral reef, marine bacteria, species diversity, anti-aging activity
