Mangrove forests are rich coastal ecosystems that host a wide variety of microorganisms, many of which remain largely unexplored. Among them, endophytic bacteria quietly inhabit plant tissues and often contribute to plant health and resilience. These hidden microbes are now gaining attention for their potential in agriculture, biotechnology, and environmental sustainability. In this study, endophytic bacteria were isolated from Acrostichum aureum (golden fern), Rhizophora mangle (red mangrove), and Laguncularia racemosa (white mangrove) leaves and screened for functionally important traits. Among the isolates, strain GF1 from Acrostichum aureum demonstrated notably high lipase activity, indicating its potential use in industrial processes such as biodegradation and biocatalysis. Molecular identification through 16S rDNA sequencing followed by BLASTN analysis revealed 100% sequence similarity with Bacillus velezensis, a species known for its enzymatic versatility and plant growth-promoting traits. The sequence for GF1 was deposited in the NCBI GenBank database under the accession number ON081290. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the maximum likelihood method and the Tamura-Nei model. This analysis involved 38 nucleotide sequences. There was a total of 858 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA X. This study shines a light on the exciting potential of endophytic bacteria from mangroves, especially Bacillus velezensis, whose strong enzyme activity and beneficial plant interactions make it a promising candidate for eco-friendly applications in farming and industry.
