Screening Marine Bacteria for the Isolation of Pollutant-Degrading Strains

Source: Villela, H. D. M., et al. Prospecting Microbial Strains for Bioremediation and Probiotics Development for Metaorganism Research and Preservation. J. Vis. Exp. (2019).This video demonstrates the isolation of pollutant-degrading marine bacteria through serial dilution, colony selection, and growth in EE2-containing medium. By using EE2 as the sole carbon source, the protocol identifies bacterial strains capable of metabolizing this environmental pollutant.
