Bacteriological and Physicochemical Character of Sea Water and Sediments in South Western Part of Jinhae Bay, Korea

The bacteriological and physicochemical analysis of sea water and sediments in south western part of Jinhae Bay was conducted. The samples were collected from 40 stations, which were established once a month from January to December, 2000. During the study period, the range of temperature was from 5.5 to $23.7^{\circ}C$, the concentration of chemical oxygen demand ranged from 1.20 to 1.55 mg/L, dissolved oxygen ranged from 3.7 to 9.1 mg/L, dissolved inorganic nitrogen ranged from 2.79 to 7.09 $\mu$g-at/L phosphate phosphorus ranged from 0.39 to 0.57 $\mu$g-at/L, and chlorophyll-$\alpha$g-at/L ranged from 4.28 to $9.66 mg/m^{3}$. The chemical oxygen demand, acid volatile sulfide and ignition loss of sediments in south western part of Jinhae Bay ranged from 0.04 to 0.40, from 24.23 to 35.52 mg/L and from 10.49 to $11.09\%$ respectively. The coliform group and fecal coliform MPN's of sea water in south western part of Jinhae Bay ranged from <3.0 to 1,600 MPN/1003nL (means <3.0 MPN/100 mL) and from <3.0 to 93 MPN/100 mL (means <3.0 MPN/ 100 mL), respectively. The coliform group was classified with IMViC reactions were analyzed. Two hundred eighteen strains that were obtained from sea water samples in south westen of Jinhae Bay represented Escherichia coli group, $61.9\%$; Citrobacter freundii group, $12.1\%$; Enterobacter aerogenes, $14.1\%$; and unknown, $11.9\%$.
