3rd INTERNATIONAL AQUATIC BIOTECHNOLOGY SYMPOSIUM , İstanbul, Türkiye, 25 - 27 Eylül 2024, ss.64, (Özet Bildiri)
Current international guidelines addressing global climate change emphasize the development of future methods using environmentally friendly tools. Marine bacteria, integral to marine ecosystems, are also crucial to the blue economy in industrial and medical applications. Their robust metabolic capabilities underpin nature-based bacterial technology, promoting sustainability aligned with the green deal. The evolving global focus includes biodiversity, "one health," and food security within the blue growth and blue economy frameworks. This study presents examples of using bacteria isolated from Turkish Seas for various purposes. It highlights biological solutions developed using bacterial technology and the outcomes of applications and field studies across different fields. Marine bacterial isolates have been applied in diverse areas, such as microbial fertilizers reducing chemical use in agriculture, eliminating oil pollution in seawater and soil, cleaning historical building surfaces, developing antibacterial compounds and raw materials, and removing marine mucilage biotechnologically. Patented bacterial formulas enhancing plant growth and soil microflora, developed from marine bacteria isolated from Turkish seas, have undergone field trials and begun production within Istanbul University Technocity (ENTERTECH). These have been licensed and registered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Antibacterial raw materials have been created from bacterial isolates from sea sponges. Patented eco-friendly bacteriological products using marine bacterial isolates for oil pollution elimination have also commenced production at Istanbul University Technocity. Biological cleaning of building surfaces with marine bacterial isolates offers advantages over traditional methods and has been patented. Solutions for marine mucilage disposal and prevention using enzymatic properties of marine bacteria have been patented and commercialized. TÜBİTAK-supported projects confirmed these formulas do not negatively impact the marine ecosystem or its inhabitants. Turkey's marine resources present significant opportunities for identifying and leveraging biotechnological potential to benefit the national economy. Expanding research on marine bacteria's biotechnological potential is essential for developing solutions that support environmental, economic, and social sustainability.
