Rivers and the estuarine regions play crucial roles in the environment by controlling the nutrient cycling, waste disposal, and also in supporting biodiversity. Bacterioplanktons in these areas are important regulators of the function of the ecosystems and also vital in metabolizing organic carbon.The present study bacterioplankton diversity of the estuarine regions of Chaliyar and the Anjarakkandi originated from the Western Ghats by employing metagenomic studies. The present study observed the presence of increased incidence of bacterioplankton comprising of proteobacteria, actinobacteria and cyanobacteria in the estuarine regions of Anjarakkandi river compared to that of Chaliyar river. Further, the percentage incidence of faecal bacteria including Bacillus subtilis and E. coli, were also found to be in high in the Anjarakkandi river; in corroborating with this, the diversity of nitrogen metabolizing bacteria was also higher in the estuarine samples of Anjarakkandi river. Corroborating with this, the levels of water nutrients including nitrates, nitrites and phosphates were high in the Anjarakkandi compared to the Chaliyar river. The higher occurrence of various particulate and dissolved organic carbon metabolizing bacterial community in these water bodies possibly be useful in improving the nutrient cycling and isolation of such specific strains may help to use them for industrial purposes.
