“…The gastrointestinal microflora of free-living fish Several investigations of intestinal microflora have used methods which isolate only the bacterial flora of the intestinal contents (Newman, Cosenza & Buck 1972;Gilmour, McCallum & Allen 1976;Sakata, Okabayashi & Kakimoto 1980;Ring01993a,b;Sugita etal. 1983Sugita etal.…”

The adherent aerobic bacterial flora present in the gastrointestinal tract and faeces of free-living Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus (L.), from Lake Takvatn, Northern Norway, were identified both qualitatively and quantitatively. Approximately 10^ bacteria g~' were found in both the small and large intestines. The predominant bacterial species were identified as Aeromonas, Enterobacteriaceae, Micrococcus and Lactobacillus. Other microorganisms isolated included Acinetobacter, Cytophaga, Flavobacterium, Moraxella, Pseudomonas, Vibrio, Coryneforms and Streptococcus. The intestinal microflora of free-living fish was dominated by Aeromonas and Lactobacillus, but the intestinal bacterial flora of wild fish transferred to hatchery was affected by feeding them either a capelin roe diet or a commercial feed in fresh and sea water. Approximately 55% ofthe bacterial flora in intestinal contents from fish fed the capelin roe diet was Enterobacteriaceae when the fish were held in fresh and sea water. However, when the wild-caught charr were fed a commercial diet in fresh water, Aeromonas and Pseudomonas dominated in faeces, while Vibrio and Pseudomoruis were predominant in the diet group held in sea water.

“…Vibrios have been identified worldwide as a major component of the intestinal microflora of both cultured and wild fish (5,9,13,15,(21)(22)(23)(29)(30)(31); however, the presence of V. vulnificus in finfish has received little attention. In two related studies (16,17), environmental specimens from the U.S. Atlantic Coast were examined for lactose-fermenting marine vibrios, and V. vulnificus was recovered from finfish, crabs, and other invertebrates.…”

Densities of Vibrio vulnificus in the intestinal contents of various finfish, oysters, and crabs and in sediment and waters of the U.S. Gulf Coast were determined by the most probable number procedure. Species were identified by enzyme immunoassay. During the winter, densities of V. vulnificus were low, and the organism was isolated more frequently from sheepshead fish than from sediment and seawater. From April to October, V. vulnificus densities were considerably higher (2 to 5 logs) in estuarine fish than in surrounding water, sediment, or nearby oysters and crustacea. Highest densities were found in the intestinal contents of certain bottom-feeding fish (108/100 g), particularly those that consume mollusks and crustaceans. Densities of V. vulnificus in fish that feed primarily on plankton and other finfish were similar to those in oysters, sediment, and crabs (105/100 g). V. vulnificus was found infrequently in offshore fish. The presence of high densities of V. vulnificus in the intestines of common estuarine fish may have both ecological (growth and transport) and public health (food and wound infections) implications.

“…The pure culture were then restreaked in nutrient agar slants and stored at 4°C for further studies. The bacterial strains isolated were identifi ed up to generic level following the scheme of Simudu and Aiso [9] and Gilmour et al [10]. The Bergey's manual of determinative bacteriology (1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989) was also referred in the identifi cation process.…”

Microbial diversity of soil and water samples collected from pyrochemicals exposed areas of Virdhunagar district (Tamil Nadu, India) was studied. Soil and water samples from cultivable area, waste land and city area of the same region were also studied for a comparative acount. There is a remarkable reduction in total heterotrophic bacterial population (THB) in pyrochemicals exposed soil and water samples (42 × 10 4 CFU/g and 5.6 × 10 4 CFU/ml respectively), compared to the THB of cultivable area soil and water samples (98 × 10 7 CFU/g and 38.6 × 10 7 CFU/ml). The generic composition the THB of the pyrochemicals exposed samples too exhibited considerable change compared to other samples. Pseudomonas sp. was the predominant one (41.6%) followed by Achromobacter sp. (25%) in pyrochemical exposed soil and Pseudomonas sp. was the predominant one (25%) in pyrochemical exposed water samples followed by Bacillus sp. (25%) and Micrococcus sp. (16.6%). It was observed that Cornybacterium sp. and Micrococcus sp. were absent completely in pyrochemical exposed soil and Achromobacter sp. was missing in the pyrochemical exposed water samples, which were present in the other samples. The outcome of this study clearly demonstrates that pollutants such as chemicals used in pyrotechniques affect the microbial biodiversity and suitable measures have to be taken to control the pollution level and to save biodiversity.
