Abstract Objectives To screen for a variety of marine bacteria with anti-quorum sensing and anti-biofilm activities. Results Among 188 bacterial isolates from water, sediment, and corals in the Red Sea region, approximately 35% (65 isolates) of the isolates displayed a significant degradation in the purple pigment of the bioreporter strain without affecting cell growth. The quorum quenching bacteria obtained from coralassociated bacteria were 66.2% out of the total isolates. The PCR amplification results revealed that the recorded Acyl Homoserine lactone (AHL) inhibition by 91% of the anti-QS marine bacteria was not due to lactonase activity. On the other hand, lactonase genes were recorded only in the remaining 9% (6 isolates) and those were belonging to genus Bacillus, Nocardiopsis, and Enterobacter based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. The results also showed that marine N. El-Kurdi (&) Department of Aquaculture Biotechnology, Fish Farming and Technology Institute, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt e-mail: [email protected] H.

bacteria with anti-QS activity inhibited 67% of the biofilm formed by Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Vibrio alginolyticus. The computational profiling analysis confirmed the presence of the functional region in the detected genes. Conclusion Coral microbial communities are rich sources for pharmacologically important natural products with anti-quorum sensing and anti-biofilm activities.

Introduction Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most notable causes of morbidities and mortalities worldwide (French 2005; Dadgostar 2019; Abushaheen et al. 2020). Because of the chaotic use of antibiotics in the agricultural, veterinary, and medical sectors, many antimicrobial agents lost their efficiency. Moreover, bacteria developed resistance to different classes of antibiotics in the market (Davies and Davies 2010). By 2050, about 10 million deaths and an economic loss of US$ 100–210 trillion may occur annually as the result of such resistance, and the lowincome countries are the most affected (Dadgostar 2019). Hence, scientists work on designing new strategies to tackle this problem which caused a
