the accumulation of heavy metals cd, cu, ni, pb, v and zn in the mangrove, avicennia marina, was studied. cu, cd, and pb were accumulated in root tissues to levels higher than surrounding sediments. zn, ni, and v were accumulated to levels lower than sediment concentrations. pb and zn showed little mobility to leaf tissue but cu was accumulated in leaves with low concentration. since pb and zn ...

Nitrate reduction is considered to be a minor microbial pathway in the oxidation of mangrove-derived organic matter due to a limited supply of nitrate in mangrove soils. At a limited availability of this electron acceptor compared to the supply of degradable carbon, nitrate ammonification is thought to be the preferential pathway of nitrate reduction. Mangrove forest mutually differ in their pr...

In this study, a total of 1125 actinobacteria were isolated from the selected mangrove species: Avicennia marina, Rhizopora mucronata and Ceriops tagal three study stations viz., Minnie Bay, Carbyn’s Cove Burmanallah. Among these stations, highest number was recorded in (64.97%), followed by (25.51%) at Burmanallah minimum (9.51%) Bay. Maximum (40.44%) than other species marina (34.13%) (25.42%...
