We examined the bacterial accumulation and digestion in the alien polychaeteBranchiomma bairdi.Microbiological analyses were performed on worm homogenates from “unstarved” and “starved” individuals and on seawater from the same sampling site (Ionian Sea, Italy). Densities of culturable heterotrophic bacteria (22 °C), total culturable bacteria (37 °C) and vibrios were measured on Marine Agar 2216, Plate Count Agar and TCBS Agar, respectively. Microbial pollution indicators were determined by the most probable number method.B. bairdiwas able to accumulate all the six considered microbiological groups which, however, differ in their resistance to digestion.B. bairdiresults more efficient than the other two co-occurring sabellids in removing bacteria suggesting that it may counteract the effects of microbial pollution playing a potential role forin situbioremediation. Thus a potential risk, such as the invasion of an alien species, could be transformed into a benefit with high potential commercial gain and economic feasibility.
