Popis: Upwelling and mud banks are two prominent oceanographic features in the coastal waters along the south west coast of India during the southwest monsoon (MON) season. The present study investigates the microbial diversity in the coastal environments of Alappuzha, India, where upwelling and mud banks co-exist. Water samples were collected from three stations, M1, M2, and M3, on a weekly basis to estimate the physico-chemical parameters and microbial abundance (MA). Presence of cold waters (
