The Sundarbans mangrove is a transitional zone between terrestrial land and sea, a unique location in our global geography. This study identifies the richness and population dynamics of bacterial populations along different seasons in the rooted and unrooted regions of soil sediments in Sundarbans, West Bengal. Throughout the year, bacterial populations were higher in the rooted sediment zone, than the unrooted area. The rooted zone contains more silt and clay but the unrooted zone harbours more silty, sandy soil. Salinity is lower in the unrooted zone. The heterotrophic bacterial populations were higher than other types of bacteria in both regions irrespective of seasonal variation. The results revealed that the most varied seasons were the monsoon season in the rooted and unrooted sediment region. The changes identified in this study were most likely due to variances in the microhabitat associated with mangrove root, physicochemical parameters and seasonal fluctuations.
