Biodiversity of culturable heterotrophic bacteria in the Southern Adriatic Sea Italian coastal waters

Abstract: SUMMARY:The qualitative and quantitative composition of culturable heterotrophic bacteria in water samples from the Southern Adriatic Sea of Italy was examined. Water samples were collected monthly, for a year, at 16 stations along the coast line between Brindisi and Santa Maria di Leuca. The results obtained described the heterotrophic bacterial community over an annual cycle.

“…Tampoco se presentaron diferencias significativas en las cuatro estaciones para cada punto (todos p> 0,05) siendo los valores hallados los que frecuentemente se observan en agua de mar (Stabili & Cavallo 2004) (Tabla 1). En los sedimentos estudiados se observó un mayor número de microorganismos que en las muestras de agua de mar.…”

“…Las identificaciones realizadas coinciden con géneros bacterianos hallados frecuentemente en agua y sedimento marino (Stabili & Cavallo 2004). Se observó cepas con capacidad de degradar hidrocarburos como Pseudomonas sp., que poseen una capacidad excelente de desarrollo en medios líquidos y de crecimiento rápido.…”

“…Another characteristic of marine environments is that the vast majority of bacteria (90-99%) are uncultivable (Amann et al, 1995); hence, the analysis of microbial communities that contribute to in situ hydrocarbon biodegradation activities has been a challenge to microbiologists (Rollins & Colwell, 1986;Wilkinson 1988 Since the pioneering work on marine bacteria by C.E. ZoBell, many bacterial strains have been isolated from the coastal and oceanic environments; these bacteria, including the genera Alteromonas (Beckman et al, 2008;Ivanova et al, 2004), Aeromonas (Stabili & Cavallo 2004), Alcanovorax (Head et al, 2006;Purkrtova et al, 2010), Bacillus (Oguntoyinbo, 2006), Cycloclasticus (Kasai et al, 2002), Chromobacterium, Flavobacterium, Marinobacter spp., Shewanella (Holt et al, 2005), Microscilla (Lennon, 2007), Micrococcus (Süss et al, 2004), Rhodococcus (Süss et al, 2004), Photobacterium, Planacoccus, Pseudomonas, Pseudoalteromonas, and Vibrios, among other genera, have been considered to be representative of marine bacteria. Many of them have the capacity to use different hydrocarbons (Head et al, 2006, Yu et al, 2005a.…”
