چکیده
Studies on actinobacteria of marine habitats gaining international importance due to its proven abilities of novel compound production. Information on actinobacteria of the mangrove environments is less and hence the present study was carried out in the different mangrove environment of Bhitarkanikka, Orissa. A total of 116 actinobacterial colonies were recorded from 30 mangrove and marine sediment samples of Bhitherkanikka mangrove environment east coast of Orissa. Among them, 67 isolates of were morphologically distinct on the basis of colour of spore mass riverside colour, Arial and substrate mycelia format production of diffusible pigment sporophore morphology. Forty three isolates were assigned to the genus Streptomyces, Saccharopolyspora (5), Nocardiopsis (5), Micromonospora (3), Actinomadura (5), Actinomycetes (1), Actinopolyspora (5).

Protection against coastal disasters has been identified as an important service of mangrove ecosystems. Empirical studies on this service have been criticized, however, for using small samples and inadequately controlling for confounding factors. We used data on several hundred villages to test the impact of mangroves on human deaths during a 1999 super cyclone that struck Orissa, India. We fo...

The mangrove formations of Godavari estuary are due to silting over many centuries. The estuary covers an area of 62,000 ha of which dense Coringa mangrove forest spread in 6,600 ha. Satellite sensor data was used to detect change in the mangrove cover for a period of 12 years (1992-2004). It was found that an area of about 1,250 ha of mangroves was destroyed by anthropogenic interference like ...

The fiddler crab Austruca occidentalis is a dominant species in mangrove forests along the East African coast. It enhances soil aeration and, through its engineering activities, makes otherwise-inaccessible food available for other marine organisms. Despite its importance, the habitat of A. occidentalis is threatened by human activities. Clearing the mangroves for salt farming and selective log...
