| dc.description.abstract | Present study examined the seasonal variations of total heterotrophic and pathogenic bacterial diversity of the coastal waters of the Andaman Sea in the Havelock island. In the non-moonson season, 22 strains of total hetrotrophic bacteria (THB) belonging to 8 genera, were isolated from water. Escherichia (23%) was dominant, followed by Pseudomonas (18%), Vibrio (14%), Enterococcus (14%), Salmonella (9%), Aeromonas (9%), Klebsiella (9%) and Cornebacterium (4%). In the monsoon season, 29 strains of THB belonging to 12 genera, were isolated. Vibrio (14%), Micrococcus (14%) and Klebsiella (14%) were dominant and contributed equally to the percent composition followed by Escherichia (10%), Streptococcus(10%), Enterococcus (10%), Pseudomonas (7%), Aeromonas (7%), Salmonella (4%), Shigella (4%), Flavobacterium (3%) and Staphylococcus (3%). Population density of THB varied from 43 X105 CFU mL-1 to 182 X105 CFU mL-1 in the non-monsoon season. In the monsoon season, it varied from 93 X105 CFU mL-1 to 365 X105 CFU mL-1. In the monsoon, THB diversity including pathogens was higher as monsoon would provide with a favourable microenvironment for the higher growth of THB and pathogenic bacteria. | en_US |
