Description 254-265
Present study consists seasonal abundance
and relationship of actinobacteria with the important chemical characteristics
of the marine environment in both water and sediments. Actinobacterial density
exhibited clear seasonal variations, being highest (38 × 104 CFU/g
dry wt) in monsoon and lowest (13 × 104 CFU/g dry
wt) in summer, 2009. Seasonal variations of actinobaterial diversity showed is
positive correlation with water nutrients such as phosphate , nitrite, nitrate and
silicates and with sediment nutrients such as clay soil, total organic carbon,
total nitrogen and total phosphorus. Negative correlation was observed with
water temperature, salinity and pH. Monsoon and summer seasons exhibited the
major influence on the actinobacterial population in the marine environment of
Chennai coast.
