Özet
Ulva lactuca is one of the macro-epiphytes of farmed seaweeds Kappaphycus spp. and Eucheuma
denticulatum in Tawi-Tawi, southern Philippines, especially during the summer season, which affects
the growth and health of farmed seaweeds. In this study, the abundance of culturable heterotrophic
marine bacteria from U. lactuca associated with farmed seaweeds Kappaphycus spp. and E.
denticulatum was investigated in the seaweed farms of Tongsibalo, Sibutu, Tawi-Tawi, southern
Philippines, using serial dilution procedure. Results revealed that the average bacterial counts
obtained from U. lactuca associated with Kappaphycus alvarezii, K. striatus, and E. denticulatum
were 2.48 x 1010 CFU g-1
, 1.14 x 1012 CFU g-1
, and 1.32 x 1011 CFU g-1
, respectively. In addition, agardigesting bacteria were observed from U. lactuca samples associated with K. alvarezii and K. striatus
manifested by the depression and liquefaction of the marine agar after 2-3 days which were
suspected as pathogenic bacteria causing ice-ice disease. Therefore, U. lactuca may serve as a vector
for these potential pathogens to farmed seaweeds.
