Size Distribution, Number and Biomass of Bacteria in Intertidal Sediments and Seawater of Ohmi Bay, Japan
The size distribution, number and biomass of bacteria in intertidal sediments and seawater of Ohmi Bay were investigated by the image analysis and DAPI direct count technique, in March, July and November, 1983. Bacteria with the equivalent spherical diameter between 0. 5 and 0.81am occupied 75-78% of the total populations in sediments. Mean cell volume of bacteria in sediments (0.159um3) was ab...
متن کاملVibrio parahaemolyticus, a Climate Change Indicator in Alaska Marine Mammals
Since 1999, the Alaska SeaLife Center has routinely screened live marine animals found in distress, and those found dead, for fecal pathogens (e.g., Salmonella, E. coli 0157, Campylobacter, Vibrio spp.) and exposure to a variety of diseases known to affect marine mammals and/ or humans (e.g., Brucella, Morbillivirus, Leptospirosis, Herpesvirus). Additionally, projects investigating wild populat...
متن کاملChlorination of indicator bacteria and viruses in primary sewage effluent.
Wastewater disinfection is used in many countries for reducing fecal coliform levels in effluents. Disinfection is therefore frequently used to improve recreational bathing waters which do not comply with microbiological standards. It is unknown whether human enteric viruses (which are responsible for waterborne disease) are simultaneously inactivated alongside fecal coliforms. This laboratory ...
متن کاملColiform Bacteria in Sediments Around Three Marine Sewage Outfalls
The distribution of coliforms in the sediments around three marine sewage outfalls was investigated. It was found that coliform fields extended for considerable distances around the two outfalls discharging unchlorinatcd primary treatment effluent and that a less extensive field existed around the outfall discharging more highly treated sewage. In general, the coliforms in the sediments were fo...
متن کاملIsolation of anthracene resistant positive gram bacteria from Imam Khomeini Port oil polluted sediments
Today's most of microorganisms are used for purification of hazard waste such as municipal and industrial waste water and oil contaminants. In this study 2 bacterial species were isolated and purified in hydrocarbon (anthracene) containing media from oil polluted sediment of Imam Khomeini port. Bacillus pasteurii and Amphibacillus xylanus species were identified as indicator degrading bacteria ...
