Identification and the First Record of Marine bacteria Mudskippers Boleophthalmus dussumieri (Valenciennes, 1837) by 16S rRNA on the Northern Intertidal areas of Persian Gulf, Iran

Abstract Background Mudskipper is from the Gobiidae family and from the subfamily Oxudercinae. Mudskipper contains four main genera Boleophthalmus, Periophthalmodon, Periophthalmus, and Scartelaos. The aim of this research identification of bacterial agent (Marine bacteria) mudskippers Boleophthalmus dussumieri on the Shores of the northern intertidal areas of the Persian Gulf (Abadan, Hendijan and Bahrekan), Iran. The mud sediment and water samples (at the depth of one m), and mudskipper fish samples (near shore at the intertidal) were collected from Abadan, Hendijan and Bahrekan in northern coasts of the Persian Gulf, Iran. Results A total of 80 aerobic bacteria marine (from the intestines of mudskipper, seawater, and muddy sediments ) was identified by biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The bacteria's (Marine bacteria) [Eubacterium] tenue strain DSM 20695, Praclostridium bifermentans strain JCM 1386 and Vibrio hyugaensis strain 090810a was first identified in the northern intertidal areas of Persian Gulf, Iran. Conclusions Bacteria compete with other organisms to get oxygen to the surface layers of the flower bed. They give that the bacterial species common to the fish intestines and sediments is high and due to fish feeding of sediment it can be concluded that the species present in the fish intestine in the present study may be a function of substrate species that needs further studies to prove this.
