Cross-site comparison of coastal bacterial occurrences and diversity at selected sites along the North Atlantic Ocean in Monrovia, Liberia

Coastal marine sites were examined for the occurrences and diversity of indigenous bacterial populations using high resolution 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing approach to further understand the ecological importance of environmental variables. Samples containing slurries of seawater and sediments were collected from nine different sites along the north Atlantic Ocean in Monrovia, Liberia and were divided into three...

Multiple adaptations of bacteriophages in Lagoon Ebrie: Indicators of permanence microbiological pollution in the environment, Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa

The Lagoon Ebrié in the city of Abidjan is a typical aquatic ecosystem that can be used to predict the existence and circulation of water pathogens. Phages are viruses that infect bacteria and can be used for the detection of their bacteria host. In this study, bacteria colonies were investigated in their natural habitat within the Lagoon by using phages as indicators. Their impact on pollution was also...
