Abstracts

Waters of the mangrove swamp at Cananeia were analysed bacteriologically aiming the determination of the degree of bacterial contamination. Aerobic counts varied significantly by season, tide and station with the highest of 13,000 and the lowest of 21/ml while coliform counts showed significant variation only by station with the highest of 1,600 and the lowest of 3 per ml. Pseudomonas-Achromobacter group comprised the highest percentage of the total flora at the level of around 60%. The biochemical characteristic of the strains of this group are more saccharolytic than proteolytic, certainly due to the great number of diatoms present.

As águas da região do mangue de Cananéia foram analisadas bacteriológicamente, com o objetivo de estabelecer seu grau de contaminação. As contagens aeróbicas variaram significativamente nas várias épocas, locais e marés, com um máximo de 13.000 bactérias/ml e um mínimo de 21/ml, ao passo que as contagens de coliformes mostraram variação significativa somente segundo os diversos locais com um máximo de 1.600 e um mínimo de 3/ml. O grupo Pseudomonas/Achromobacter abrangeu a mais alta percentagem da flora total com cerca de 60%. As características bioquímicas das linhagens deste grupo são mais sacarolíticas do que proteolíticas, certamente devido ao grande número de diatomáceas presentes.

SYNOPSIS

Waters of the mangrove swamp at Cananeia were analysed bacteriologically aiming the determination of the degree of bacterial contamination.

Aerobic counts varied significantly by season, tide and station with the highest of 13,000 and the lowest of 21/ml while coliform counts showed significant variation only by station with the highest of 1,600 and the lowest of 3 per ml.

Pseudomonas-Achromobacter group comprised the highest percentage of the total flora at the level of around 60%. The biochemical characteristic of the strains of this group are more saccharolytic than proteolytic, certainly due to the great number of diatoms present.

RESUMO

As águas da região do mangue de Cananéia foram analisadas bacteriológicamente, com o objetivo de estabelecer seu grau de contaminação.

As contagens aeróbicas variaram significativamente nas várias épocas, locais e marés, com um máximo de 13.000 bactérias/ml e um mínimo de 21/ml, ao passo que as contagens de coliformes mostraram variação significativa somente segundo os diversos locais com um máximo de 1.600 e um mínimo de 3/ml.

O grupo Pseudomonas/Achromobacter abrangeu a mais alta percentagem da flora total com cerca de 60%. As características bioquímicas das linhagens deste grupo são mais sacarolíticas do que proteolíticas, certamente devido ao grande número de diatomáceas presentes.
