contents Microbial flora associated with submerged mangrove leaf litter in India Narayanasamy Rajendran Kandasamy Kathiresan Biología litter microbes Avicennia Rhizophora Azotobacter We studied the microbial flora in decomposing mangrove leaves in relation to changes in nitrogenand tannin levels, and in penaeid prawn assemblages. Senescent leaves of two mangrove species (Rhizophoraapiculata and Avicennia marina) kept in nylon bags, were separately immersed for 80 days in five tanks fullof mangrove water. A known amount of decomposing leaves was collected every ten days from each tank formicroorganism counts, total nitrogen and tannin measurement, and juvenile penaeid prawn counts. Five generaof total heterotrophic bacteria (THB), three species of azotobacters and 19 species of fungi were identified. Theazotobacters showed a significant peak around 40-50 days after the beginning of of decomposition, similar to thetrend for total nitrogen and for prawn assemblages. Rev. Biol.
