A polychaete, Capitella sp. I has been shown to degrade organics actively in organically enriched sediment below fish farms. Our aim of the present study is to enhance the biological treatment of sediment by co-inoculation of Capitella sp. I with bacterial isolates that possess high degrading potential for organic matter. We isolated a total of 200 bacterial strains from fecal pellets, burrow lining, worm body, and sediment, and selected six of them for the degradation experiments in the sediment microcosms. With two out of the six isolates, tentatively identified as Vibrio sp. and Vibrio cyclitrophicus by 16SrDNA sequence, we found the TOC reduction rate was stimulated in sediment co-inoculated with the worms and each of the bacteria. In contrast, this was not observed in sediments inoculated only with the worms or the bacterium. These results strongly suggest that co-inoculation of Capitella sp. I with bacteria improves biodegradation.
