TitleMytilus galloprovincialis filter feeding on the bacterial community in a Mediterranean coastal area (Northern Ionian Sea - Italy)
AbstractThis study was carried out seasonally, throughout a year, to evaluate the filtering activity on bacteria of Mytilus galloprovincialis. Six microbiological parameters were researched in the water and mussels samples collected along the coastal area of the Northern Ionian Sea in three stations: S. Vito, Lido Gandoli and Lido Silvana. We detected the densities of culturable heterotrophic bacteria by spread plate on Marine Agar, total culturable bacteria at 37°C on Plate Count Agar and vibrios abundance on thiosulphate-citrate-bile-sucrose-salt (TCBS) agar. Total and fecal coliforms as well as fecal streptococci were determined by the Most Probable Number. Bacterial concentrations at 20 and 37°C as well as vibrios concentrations were higher in the mussel samples compared to the corresponding seawater throughout the year. The results obtained could contribute to improve the information relatively either to the natural processes existing between bacteria and mussels or to the risk of human infections related to the consumption of mussels.
