Abstract:
The present work was carried out to investigate and compare the dominant
sediments and bacterial pollution indicators which are growing on selective
and differential widely used media. Three sediment samples were collected
from off Szentendre island (at 1684.5 river km) by the core sampler instrument
. The current study showed that (54) strains from all samples of different
depths (0 cm; –10 cm and –20 cm) were isolated, respectively. (21 strains
of gram positive ), the highly dominant groups are spore formers of the
genus Bacillus especially at the –10 and –20 cm layers, on the hand
the dominant groups of gram negative (33 strains) are Pseudomonas and
Xanthomonas spp. Further details are to be discussed later.
