Levaduras en aguas costeras del Mar Menor y desembocadura del rio Segura

Abstract

Como parte de un trabajo más amplio sobre contaminación microbiana en áreas marinas, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio de aislamiento y recuento de levaduras en diversos puntos del Mar Menor y desembocadura del río Segura. El estudio ha abarcado, entre otros aspectos, la puesta a punto de medios de cultivo adecuados para el aislamiento directo de levaduras sin interferencia por contaminación bacteriana o crecimiento de hongos filamentosos. En los muestreos de las zonas indicadas se ha analizado la variación topográfica y estaciona1 de las poblaciones de levaduras. Los resultados destacan el aislamiento de Candida albicans en varios puntos de muestre0 y una mayor abundancia relativa de levaduras no patógenas en sedimentos en relación a los niveles detectados en aguas libres. Por otra parte se han realizado estudios de laboratorio sobre supervivencia simulando las condiciones del medio marino y determinando la influencia de algunos factores fisioquímicos en el crecimiento y viabilidad de las levaduras. En este sentido, se ha utilizado C. utilis como modelo representativo de levadura saprofítica y C. albicans como modelo de levadura potencialmente patógena. Los resultados obtenidos revelan una escasa viabilidad de ambos tipos de levaduras cuando se someten a condiciones análogas a las existentes en el medio marino.

lnformation on marine yeasts and their significance in polluted waters is scarce. In this paper we report the results of isolations of yeasts and molds found in marine waters from the Mar Menor (Southeastern Spain) and the mouth of the Segura river. Compositional modifications of various culture media and a critica1 evaluation of the results obtained are also presented. Mold colonies are significantly reduced in the modified media so that direct yeast counting becomes improved. Yeast counts, including red species, have been significantly higher in sediments as compared to free waters. Candida albicans was detected in relatively high numbers in the most polluted sites. The survival ability in natural waters of two yeasts, C. utilis and C. albicans was investigated. The results show that both yeasts present a high death rate in marine and brackish waters. only 1-0'01% remaining viable after 25 days in sea water.
