Description 109-111
Photosynthetic pigments were estimated from neritic, estuarine and mangrove biotopes of Porto Novo. The mangrove biotope gave higher values for bacteriochlorophyll a, bacteriochlorophyll c (chlorobium chlorophyll 660) and bacteriochlorophyll d (chlorobium chlorophyll 650) than the neritic and the estuarine biotopes. Chlorophyll a was higher in the estuary than in the other 2 biotopes. Dissolved oxygen, salinity, light penetration and pH were lower in the mangrove biotope and higher in the other 2 biotopes. Mangrove biotope seems to provide a more congenial environment for photosynthetic bacteria with higher turbidity of water, greater concentrations of organic detritus and hydrogen sulphide.
