“…They are also extremely useful for analyzing differences between communities on spatial and temporal scales, and for illustrating how these communities vary along gradients of environmental stress (Jiang et al 2007;Xu et al 2008Xu et al , 2009Tan et al 2010). In our study, both MDS ordination and clustering/PCA analyses revealed a clear spatial pattern of environmental status.…”

“…Furthermore, many ciliates can often inhabit environments that are unfavorable to most metazoans and some can even tolerate extremes of environmental conditions to macrofauna (Coppellotti and Matarazzo 2000;Jiang et al 2007). Thus, special attention is being focused on ciliated protozoa as a favorable bioindicator for monitoring water quality (Ismael and Dorgham 2003;Jiang et al 2007;Xu et al 2009). …”

“…The study of microbial diversity is one of the difficult areas of biodiversity research (Watve et al 1999). The traditional biodiversity parameters (e.g., species richness, diversity, and evenness) are more widely used to summarize the structural patterns of a microbial community (Ismael and Dorgham 2003;Mouillot et al 2005;Xu et al 2008;Prato et al 2009;Xu et al 2009;Tan et al 2010). …”

“…They are also extremely useful for analyzing differences between communities on spatial and temporal scales, different sampling points, and for illustrating how these communities vary along gradients of environmental stress (Jiang et al 2007;Xu et al 2008Xu et al , 2009Tan et al 2010). The results on multivariate analysis through ANOSIM, SIMROF, principal component analysis (PCA), and cluster analysis by Bray-Curtis similarity evidenced that the bacterial communities are taxonomically distinct.…”

The present study was undertaken to investigate the diversity of mangrove-associated bacterial genera at Manakudy estuary, Southwest coast of India. The root and rhizosphere sediments of both mangrove and their associated plants were collected from chosen area. Results inferred that the maximum nutrients, THB density, and diversity indices were recorded in rhizosphere and root sample of Avicennia officinalis. Altogether, 258 bacterial strains were isolated from the chosen mangrove samples and screened for nitrogen fixing and phosphate solubilizing ability. Screened result inferred that, 36.43 % isolates had nitrogen fixing and 29.45 % isolates had phosphate solubilizing ability. Here, the genus Bacillus spp. (21.71 %) was the most dominant genera. The bacterial diversity indices, i.e., univariate analysis showed remarkable variation between the chosen samples; however, maximum diversity indices was registered by rhizosphere and root sample of A. officinalis. The 95 % confidence interval and ellipse showed that samples were well mendacious within AvTD and VarTD. Likewise, the multivariate analysis like similarity percentage was good discriminator from 16.64 to 100 % by Bray-Curtis dissimilarity. The prinicipal component analysis (PCA) showed marked variation between the tested bacterial communities. Cluster analysis and non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) were grouped by Bray-Curtis similarity index which strongly evidence that the rhizosphere and root samples of A. officinalis were highly diversified in the study area.

“…Ciliated protozoa have several advantages in the assessment of environmental status including (1) with their short life cycle and delicate external membranes, they may react more quickly to environmental changes than many other eukaryotic organisms and (2) many forms can inhabit environments that are unfavorable to metazoans (Cairns et al, 1972;Franco et al, 1998;Corliss, 2002;Xu et al, 2002Xu et al, , 2009aGong et al, 2005;Jiang et al, 2007). Based on species information, several studies have shown that ciliated protozoa may be reliable indicators of environmental status, and of water quality in particular (Cairns et al 1972;Xu et al, 2002Xu et al, , 2008Ismael & Dorgham, 2003;Jiang et al, 2007;Tan et al, 2010).…”

Taxonomic distinctness of ciliated protozoan communities at genus-level resolution was studied over a 12-month period (in Jiaozhou Bay, northern China. Samples were collected biweekly from three different depths at each of five sites. A range of physico-chemical parameters were also measured in order to determine water quality. Multivariate and univariate analyses showed that (1) spatial patterns of ciliated protozoan communities were significantly different among the five sampling sites (P \ 0.05); (2) there were no significant differences among the three depths at each site (P [ 0.05); (3) the taxonomic patterns of ciliate communities at genus-level resolution were significantly correlated with the spatial variation of environmental variables, in particular nitrate nitrogen (NO 3 -N), sum of NO 3 -N and nitrite nitrogen (NO n -N), and soluble reactive phosphate (SRP); (4) the Margalef's index did not show a significant correlation with chemical parameters although it was higher for the less eutrophic than the more eutrophic sites (P [ 0.05); (5) the average taxonomic distinctness (D ? ) and variation in taxonomic distinctness (K ? ) of the ciliate communities at genus-level resolution were significantly negatively correlated with the combination of NO n -N and SRP; (6) the paired taxonomic biodiversity indices (D ? and K ? ) showed a clear decreasing trend of departure from the expected taxonomic breadth in response to water quality. These results suggest that spatial patterns and taxonomic distinctness (especially the paired D ? and K ? ) of ciliated protozoan communities at genus-level resolution can be used as potential indicators for assessing marine water quality while minimizing costs in terms of the time and resources needed for sample analysis.
