Description 773-783
Bacterial bionts from
nine sponges from intertidal reaches of Mandapam (9o17’0" N and
7o7’0"E), namely: Petrosia testudinaria, Cinachyra cavernosa,
Haliclona sp., Callyspongia fibrosa, Heteronema erecta, Fasciospongia
cavernosa, Callyspongia reticutis var solomonensis unidentified sponges (MAMS),
and unidentified sponge (NIO3) were enumerated by the acridine orange and
viable count in Tryptone Yeast Extract medium (TYE) with 3-25% NaCl. Forty two
pure bionts were characterized to generic level according to Bergey’s
Systematic Bacteriology and sarted into groups using SYSTAT-v.12.01. Diversity,
richness and evenness of genera were determined using PRIMER v.5. Direct
bacterial counts for sponges, averaged at 5.2±2.20×109 cells/g.
Viable counts averaged at 3.31±2.60×108 cfu/g, 3.83±2.86×108
cfu/g and 2.89±2.3×108 cfu/g on TYE, 3% TYE and NTYE, respectively.
Predominant Genera were in the order of Bacillus>Corynebacterium >
Chromohalobacter. Bionts of Genera Loktanella sp., Pontibacillus sp.,
Planococcus sp., Enterococcus sp. are retrieved for the first
time from sponges of Mandapam. Retrieval of bionts of Genera Enterococcus,
Corynebacterium, Enterobacter and Pseudomonas known for
pathogenicity to humans, reflects pollution of Mandapam

waters by sewage and Heralds
Caution for safeguarding the waters to ensure sustainability of biota.
