Abstract

Marine beach sands with bacterial pathogens may cause increased outcomes of illness among beachgoers in summer. In this study, pyrosequencing of 16S ribosomal DNAs extracted from 12 beach sands was performed to understand how the environmental factors of wastewaters or human wastes affected the distribution of bacterial communities at the beach of North Gyeongsang province (Yeongdeok and Pohang counties) in the middle of October. It was found that Acidobacteria were dominantly distributed in the sands near the clean seawaters, Proteobacteria in the sands near the river waters, Cyanobacteria in the sands near the wastewaters, and Bacteroidetes in the sands near the beach park. Other phyla groups such as Actinobacteria, Chlorobi, Deferribacteres, Deinococcus-thermus, Firmicutes, Gemmatimonadetes, Nitrospirae, and/or Verrucomicrobia were distributed at low relative abundance (1-5%).

경상북도 영덕군과 포항시에 위치한 해수욕장 주변에서 생활하수나 생활쓰레기 등의 환경조건이 해변모래에 서식하는 미생물 분포에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 조사하기 위하여, 10월 중순에 12곳의 해변모래를 채취하여 16S rRNA 유전자를 pyrosequencing 방법으로 분석하였다. 해수 부근의 청결한 모래에는 Acidobacteria, 담수 부근의 모래에는 Proteobacteria, 생활하수 부근의 모래에는 Cyanobacteria, 해변공원 부근의 모래에는 Bacteroidetes 그룹이 20-90% 정도로 높게 분포하였고, 생활하수가 해수와 합해지는 해변모래에서는 Actinobacteria, Chlorobi, Deferribacteres, Deinococcus-thermus, Firmicutes, Gemmatimonadetes, Nitrospirae, Verrucomicrobia 그룹이 1-5% 정도로 낮게 분포하였다.
