Number Of Bacteria

The number of bacteria in sediment from an estuarine environment, salinity 20–25‰, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, was determined by membrane filter counts from 73 fresh (on board ship) and 67 frozen (in laboratory) samples from 20 stations and the results compared. Taylor's model (log variance = a + b log mean) was used to determine dispersion on filters and normalizing transformations in preference to aligning data with Poisson expectation via Fisher's χ2 test. Mean with 95% [Formula: see text] colonies per gram dry sediment [Formula: see text] from fresh samples. Variance between replicate filters was negligible. Most remaining variance was between samples. Conversion of counts to weight basis introduced negligible variance. Counts from frozen samples were less variable than those from fresh samples. Fresh and frozen counts correlated well after transformation. Freezing confirmed as a method of preserving sediment for bacterial counts. Distribution in sediment of bacteria detected by these counts was slightly overdispersed (aggregated). Chromogenic colonies were prominent in the counted flora and their significance is discussed.

AbstractDetailed estimates of defoliation caused by spruce budworm [Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.)] over the crown length of young balsam fir [Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.] were made throughout a spruce budworm outbreak from 1976 to 1984 in the Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia. The results show no clear tendency for a particular level of the crown to be damaged more heavily than any other. Thus, there is no reason to continue the common practice of taking samples from the mid-crown level on the assumption that they represent an ‘average’ level of defoliation either for high or low populations. Sampling from the bottom of the crown should provide a more convenient and cost-effective approach for estimating defoliation.
