Description 52-56
In the sediments
of the mangrove swamps of Cochin,
phenolic compounds and total plate count (TPC) ranged from 0.018 ppm to 16.75 ppm,
and 25×104/g to 110×104/g respectively and showed distinct
seasonal variations. Phenol

concentration was highest (16.75
ppm) during monsoon month, when the bacterial abundance was the lowest (24.5×104
). The diversity of bacteria and their numbers were higher when phenol
concentration was less in the sediment (< 2 ppm). Both the parameters showed
inverse correlation with each other (r= -0.58496; P~0 .05). The qualitative study of
aerobic heterotrophs showed the presence of Aeromonas sp., Alcaligenes
sp., Bacillus sp., Enterobacteriaceae, Flavobacterium sp., Micrococcus
sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Vibrio sp. Various hydrological and
sediment parameters showed significant correlations among each other and are
presented in detail in the present paper.
