Bacteria were isolated from intestine, gills and flesh of Oreochromis niloticus collected from Lake Manzala during two seasons; winter and summer, 2017. Microbiological studies was applied for all samples as total viable bacteria, total coliform, faecal coliform, faecal streptococcus and examined for the presence of Pseudomonas sp. Results show that total viable bacterial count mean was highest in intestine 222 x 104 CFUg-1 in summer. Total coliform count mean was highest in intestine 425 x 103 CFUg-1 in summer. Faecal coliform count mean was highest in gills 90 x 102 CFUg-1 in summer. Faecal streptococcus detected in fish organs only in summer. P. aeruginosa count mean was highest in intestine 185 x 102 CFUg-1 in summer. Molecular identification of suspected colonies was as DNA extraction, PCR technique using ISSR protocol and sequencing, using the nucleotide sequences of the genes for 16S rRNA revealed different strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. All isolates were tested for resistance to 10 groups of antibiotics namely Tetracycline (10μg), Gentamicin (10μg), Ampicillin (10μg), Trimethoprim/Sulphamethoxazole (25μg), Vancomycin (30μg), Erythromycin (15μg), Ciprofloxacin (30μg), Chloramphenicol (30μg), Amoxicillin (10μg) and Rifampicin (5μg) using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. The results showed high frequency of multi-drug resistance to many antibiotics, particularly penicillin, ampicillin and chloramphenicol. Therefore this fish species caught from the Lake Manzala may pose health hazards to human and the whole ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":210712,"journal":{"name":"Alfarama Journal of Basic & Applied Sciences","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130925092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, microalgae and their products are used as biological control of diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi. This is considered environmentally ecofriendly method to overcome the plant damage caused by soil borne pathogenic fungi and thereby economic loss. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate in vitro the antifungal activity of N. arenaria isolate PS 31 extracellular and intracellular metabolites against two taxa of soil borne phytopathogenic fungi; Macrophomina phaseolina and Fusarium oxysporum. N. arenaria PS 31 hexane extract was the most effective extract on growth inhibition of both phytopathogenic fungi. There is no significant difference between miconazole and N. arenaria hexane extract of 5.6 mg/ml on growth inhibition of F. oxysporum. The inhibitory effect of hexane extract at 5.6, 4.2 and 2.8 mg/ml and ethyl acetate extract at 35% (v/v) was higher than controls. Ethyl acetate extract was effective on growth inhibition of M. phaseolina (29.67%). GC-MS analysis of N. arenaria hexane fraction revealed the presence of potent antifungal compounds such as Phenol, 2,2'-methylenebis[6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4methyl-, di-n-octyl phthalate, cholestane-3,5-diol, 5-acetate,(3.beta.,5.alpha.), Cholestan-3ol,(3.beta.,5.beta.)and beta.-Sitosterol. These results suggest that N. arenaria hexane extract can be used in biological control of plant diseases caused by M. phaseolina and F. oxysporum.","PeriodicalId":210712,"journal":{"name":"Alfarama Journal of Basic & Applied Sciences","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115662008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
