Preliminary Identification of a Marine Bacterial Strain HZBN43

[Objective] The aim of this study is to identify a bacterial strain isolated from ocean water from the Yellow Sea.[Method] Using 16S rRNA technique, a strain from Yellow Sea was preliminarily identified and analyzed.[Result] A 1521 bp fragment of 16S rRNA was amplified from the strain HZBN43;homology analysis between the yielded sequence and the 16S rRNA sequences accessed in NCBI from other strains showed that HZBN43 belonged to Bacillus,and shared 99.79% homologue with the known species Bacillus selenatarsenatis.However,because of the incomplete sequence,the confidence level is just 46,so other corroborations are still required for grouping HZBN43 into an exact species.
