What is Bacteria on Intertidal Sand Grains about?
have underlined our lack of knowledge about bacterial populations which might exist on the surface of marine sand grains . ZOBELL (1938) and ZOBELL & RITTENBERG (1938) quote figures for total numbers of bacteria per gram of sand, but give no details of their methods, and apparently do not differentiate between bacteria in the interstitial water and bacteria on the surfaces of sand grains . PEARSE, HuMM & WHARTON (1942) appreciated that bacteria may be attached to the surfaces of individual sand grains ; these authors, however, stated that their results were preliminary . In the present investigation, experiments were conducted on sand samples from the surface of intertidal beaches . They were designed to give estimates of the total and viable numbers of bacteria per unit surface area of sand grain . Experiments are also reported on the possible importance of rain water and wave action in dislodging bacteria from sand grains . ## MATERIAL AND METHODS All sands were collected from sandy intertidal beaches between Wemyss Bay and Troon on the Ayrshire coast, Scotland . Samples of
