Isolation of Marine Yeast from Muthupet Mangrove Environment
ABSTRACT
Four sea water samples were collected from different locality of
Saviyarmunnai, Vavalthottam, Manakkattai and Devararul
Muthupet mangroves environs by using YM medium was used.
A total of 13 isolates were isolated such as Aureobasidium
nulluns, Candida elaebora, C. sake, C. zeylanoides,
Cryptococcus hansenii, C. victoriae, Dioszella crocera,
Dioszella aurantiace, Leucosporidilla fragaria, L. auscorum,
Rhodotorula glacialis, R. larvngis and Saccharomyces
cerevisiae was frequently distributed from Saviyarmunnai,
Vavalthottam, Manakkattai and Devarraul villages of Muthupet
environs. Physicochemical properties of water sample also
analysed and correlated. The parameters such as air
temperature, sea water temperature, transparency, dissolved
oxygen, pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, conductivity, TDS,
ammonia nitrate, nitrite, orthophosphates, iron, cross primary
productivity, net primary productivity and community
respiration were determined
