We investigated antibiotics resistance of bacteria isolated from marine organisms in Jeju Island of South Korea. We isolated 17 strains from a marine sponge, algaes, and sea water collected from Biyangdo on Jeju Island. Seventeen strains were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing for species identification and tested antibiotic susceptibility of strains against six antibiotics. Strain JJS3-4 isolated from S. siliquastrum showed 98% similarity to the 16S rRNA gene of Formosa spongicola A2T and was resistant to six antibiotics. Strains JJS1-1, JJS1-5, JJS2-3, identified as Pseudovibrio spp., and Stappia sp. JJS5-1, were susceptive to chloramphenicol and these four strains belonged to the order Rhodobacterales in the class Alphaproteobacteria. Halomonas anticariensis JJS2-1, JJS2-2 and JJS3-2 and Pseudomonas rho.. View More»
