“…Crude extracts of Bacillus safensis strain PDRV, isolated from Red sea sponge Amphimedon ochracea, showed cytotoxicity against three established human cancer cell lines; HepG2 (hepatocellular carcinoma), HCT (colon carcinoma) and MCF-7 (breast carcinoma) with IC 50 of 46.9, 28.6 and 21.3 µg/ml, respectively following MTT assay (Aboul-Ela et al, 2012).…”

Cancer treatment remains as an expensive process due to the cost of sophisticated infrastructure development as well as its maintenance with skilled personnel. At the same time, the success rate is not very inspiring since non-specific target oriented medication could cause other health complexities leading to death. Research for alternative therapies aimed at minimizing the side effects of treatments and increasing the survival rates of patients includes routine explorations for anticancer agents from numerous sources (e.g. microbes, plants and nanoparticles). Anticancer activities of several bacterial components especially from Bacillus spp. were reported in many scientific reports. For economic production of these agents, potential strains from this genus could be feasible and sustainable for their long and successful utilization in industries. The review is therefore, focused on describing the available anticancer and anti-proliferative agents reported worldwide from Bacillus spp.

“…The sea is the habitat of over 1000 invertebrate species, and 200 soft and hard corals [12] [13] [14] [15]. In the north, the width is only 175 km but southward it increases to a maximum of 370 km near Jizan, then decreases to 30 to 40 km at Bab El-Mandab [5] [7] [16]- [23].…”

To assess the quality of the Egyptian Red Sea coastal waters for the sustainable use and development, due to its importance for the national income, four field campaigns were annually carried out during the period from 2011-2013 to investigate the hydrography, nutrient salts, heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons. Except for the area of Bir Shalatein, the results of beach litter cleared out that the shoreline of the studied area is not affected by man-made litter. No sewage could be observed. The results of the present study showed that water temperature followed seasonal changes in air temperature. Red Sea water is more saline than adjacent Arabian Sea. DO revealed high values and presence of well oxygenated waters. Minor changes in the distribution of pH, BOD, DOM and COD, revealed that limited effects of human impacts and depend mainly on the dynamics of its water as well as on the geographical location. Low Chl-a and TSM concentrations and high transparency revealed that also the effect of human impacts is almost negligible. Significantly higher sea water temperatures, TSM, pH, DO, BOD, DOM, and COD were observed in summer season compared to their corresponding values in winter season. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentrations were quite low because there is little nutrient input from soil, agriculture and pollution on land. Based on the annual mean values, the pattern concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen forms followed the order: NO 3 > NH 4 > NO 2. The Red Sea coastal waters are classified as oligotrophic to mesotrophic state. A remarkable increase of PO 4 concentration was observed in the middle Red Sea stations due to huge amounts of effluents enriched with phosphate from the main shipping and industry of Phosphate Companies. SiO 4 displayed a large variability due to the supply of SiO 4 , which flows in the Red Sea through the strait of Bab El-Mandab, biological consumption, organic matter decomposition and the partial dissolution of quartz particle transported to the sea from the surrounding desert during How to cite this paper:

“…The Red Sea, which contains globally unique ecosystems and biodiversity [18]- [24] is threatened with serious degradation as a result of pollution, physical destruction and unsustainable exploitation of marine and coastal natural resources [25]- [30]. The Gulf of Aqaba, like the coastal waters of the Red Sea, is one of the world's premier diving locations.…”
