    The Red Algal Genera Laurencia, Osmundea and Palisada (Rhodomelaceae, Rhodophyta) in Turkey
    Taskin, E; Sukatar, A
    In this paper, 12 taxa at specific and infraspecific level of the red algal genera Laurencia (7), Osmundea (2) and Palisada (3) are studied and evaluated from Turkey. Laurencia minuta Vandermeulen, Garbary & Guiry subsp. scammaccae G. Furnari and Cormaci is reported for the first time, and Laurencia uvifera (Forsskal) Borgesen is reported for the second time in Turkey. L. minuta subsp. scammaccae was collected at a depth of 10 m from the Iskenderun Gulf (the Mediterranean coast of Turkey).

    Phenotypic and molecular characterization of luminous bacteria isolated from Izmir Gulf in Turkey
    Omeroglu, EE; Karaboz, I; Sukatar, A; Uzel, A; Sayan, M; Sanlidag, T
    Luminous bacteria were isolated from invertebrates and coastal seawater samples in the summer season 2004, from Izmir Gulf in Turkey. The seawater samples were concentrated by using 0.22-mu pore-sized nitrocellulose membrane filters. The concentrated seawater samples and intestinal contents of Holothuria tubulosa were inoculated on Seawater Complete (SWC) and BOSS media. The agar plates were incubated at 25 degrees C for 48 h. After incubation, bioluminescent bacteria were isolated in a dark room, then purified and stored on a suitable medium. Bioluminescent isolates were identified with a polyphasic approach by using morphological, cultural, biochemical and molecular characteristics, in addition to 16SrDNA sequencing. Finally, the bioluminescent marine bacteria isolated from intestinal contents of H. tubulosa and seawater samples were identified as Vibrio harveyi TEM S1 and TEM O5 strains, respectively.
