In the beach viable bacteria were more abundant at the surface and decreased with increasing core depth, but seasonal variation of bacterial numbers was not clear. The same distribution pattern described above was observed for proteolytic and amylolytic groups of bacteria but in situ proteolytic and amylolytic activities in the beach are declined markedly with increasing depth and toward winter. Electron transport system (ETS) activity was also low in winter. In addition, low COD values and low ratios of total amino acids to total carbohydrates in the beach sands were observed. These facts strongly suggested that the biodegradation of particulate matter on and in the sand occurs in the early stage after deposition and controlled by ambient temperature rather than by microbial biomass.}, pages = {29--38}, title = {浦の内湾湾口部砂浜の微生物の分布とその活用}, volume = {12}, year = {1992} }
