Description 170-174
From the live and decomposing S. molesta 13 strains of bacteria were isolated and the growth promoting effect of the weed extract in various concentrations on 5 selected strains of bacteria and mixed culture was studied. Turbidity measurements gave maximum percentage transmission in 5% extract. Dry weight loss of dried weed in the laboratory was 20 and 25% after 10 and 25 days of incubation respectively. Yield efficiency of 3 bacterial strains calculated for 48 hr was 20%. The results suggest the potential value of this primary source of organic material in the food web of Cochin backwaters.
