Abstract
Phylogenetic diversity and antibiotic susceptibility of isolated bacteria from sediments in shallow and deep regions of Eastern Mediterranean Sea were studied. 153 strains isolated from the study area which is one of the most oligotrophic environments in the world were found as affiliated to the Firmicutes and Gammaproteobacteria. As determined by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the Bacillus the most frequent genus was dominant in each sediment samples. The present study provided highly diverse bacterial strains of ten different families especially with probability of representing new taxa as twelve percent of total isolates. The highest antibiotic resistance was obtained from coastal sediments compared to deep basins. The influence of environmental parameters was observed as the variability of bacterial community composition such that phylogenetic diversity was much higher in higher taxa for shallower regions, especially in North Aegean Sea as compared to deep basins of Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
