Marine roseobacters that contain bacteriochlorophyll a have been described (Oz et al. 2005), and the bacteriochlorophyll a-containing marine bacterium Porphyrobacter sanguineus was able to degrade biphenyl and dibenzofuran, though unable to use them as sole substrates for growth (Hiraishi et al. 2002).

Bioluminescence can be used for spedfic detection of separated bioactive compounds on layers (BioTLC) [46]. After development and drying the mobile phase by evaporation, the layer is coated with microorganisms by immersion of the plate. Single bioactive substances in multicomponent samples are located as zones of differing luminescence. The choice of the luminescent cells determines the specificity of detection. A specific example is the use of the marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri with the BioTLC format. The bioluminescence of the bacteria cells on the layer is reduced by toxic substances, which are detected as dark zones on a fluorescent background. BioTLC kits are available from ChromaDex, Inc. (Santa Ana, CA). 

A list of entrapped enzymes is given in Table 3.2. There are two endo-l,3-P-D-glucanases from marine mollusks Spisula sacchalinensis and Ch. albidus and a-D-galactosidase from marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. MM 701. They were selected for immobilization for the following reasons ...

The first steps in bypassing of the biological, technological, and financial burden of live stock culturing or maintenance were made more than 20 years ago through the development of a bacterial luminescence inhibition test [34,35] this bioassay is presently known and used worldwide as the Microtox test. The revolutionary principle of this test is that it uses a lyophihzed strain of a (marine) bacterium Photobacterium phosphoreum). This makes the bioassay apphcable anytime, anywhere, without the need for continuous culturing of the test species.

Besides sponges and algae, enzymes were also isolated from marine organisms and microorganisms. For example, polymerases and proteases from marine Vibrio sp. [352], marine bacterium such as Alcaligenes faecalis [353], and from archaeons, such as the psychrophilic Cenarchaeum symbiosum [354], and the hyperthermophile archaeons Pyrococcus furiosus [355], Sulfolobus solfataricus [356], and Aeropyrum pernix [357] transferases from marine bacterium such as Vibrio vulnificus...
