Biomineralization of selenium from red sea (Mangrove community) through remote sensing

Abstract

The study was conducted as following:

 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)  Drainage Pattern Extraction using DEM  In situ sample collection for selenite reducing bacteria isolation and enumeration from six different locations (1,2,3,4,5 and 6) In vitro:  Isolation and enumeration of selenite reducing bacteria from different samples ( sediment, water and mangrove leaves) within six locations  Identification of selenite reducing bacteria  Factors influencing selenite reducing bacterial growth  Environmental growth parameters affecting selenite bio-reduction  Location detection of elemental selenium by SEM and TEM)  16S r RNA identification of selected isolates.  Correlation analysis of studied parameters  Statistical analysis

The results can be summarized in the following:

1. By using remote sensing techniques the six study areas were classified as following; two areas as control, two as mangrove and two as mangrove exposed to flash flood.
