  • Title: Sand beach bacteria: enumeration and characterization.
    Author: Khiyama HM, Makemson JC.
    Journal: Appl Microbiol; 1973 Sep; 26(3):293-7. PubMed ID: 4356458.
    Abstract:
    Bacteria in the water-saturated sand of a relatively unpolluted sand beach were enumerated by direct microscope and viable counting. The number of interstitial bacteria was estimated to be a significant fraction of the total number of bacteria present. Three hundred sixty-two strains were isolated and submitted to cultural and biochemical tests. Fermentational abilities and the production of indole suggested that a significant number of these bacteria were symbiotically associated with resident metazoans.
