Abstract
The main source of Bacterial contamination of Estuary waters are domestic waste water and sewage discharge. In this present investigation, Green Mussels were collected from three different stations of Chennai Coast - Ennore, Royapuram and Muttukadu. The mussels were degutted and bacteria were isolated using selective and non-selective agar medium and further confirmed by biochemical tests. The organisms were ident illed to generic or group level according to Bergey's manual of systematic Bacteriology. Different group of fecal coli forms and Vibrio spp. have been isolated. Escherichia coli, Vibrio alginolyticus, V. parahaemolyticus and V. harveyi were the dominant species. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a facultative pathogen widely complicated in outbreaks of gastroenteritis related to the consumption of improperly processed seafood was present in the gut of Green Mussels.
