Heterotrophic Bacteria in the Surface Sea Water of the Indian Ocean

284 heterotrophic bacteria were isolated from 17 sea water samples of the IndianOcean, collected during the fifth Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition 1960-1961. Theywere distinguished into 23 groups, 40 strains, by their colony appearances, which served for determinative studies. Identified speci...

Description
Summary:284 heterotrophic bacteria were isolated from 17 sea water samples of the IndianOcean, collected during the fifth Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition 1960-1961. Theywere distinguished into 23 groups, 40 strains, by their colony appearances, which served for determinative studies. Identified species are as follows : Achromobacter aquamarinus, Achr. stationis, Achr. stenohalis, Brevibacterium maris, Brev. minutiferula, Flavobacterium aestumarina, Fl. balustinum, Fl. diffusum, Fl. halmephilum, Fl. neptunium, Fl. okeanokoites,Fl. uliginosum, Micrococcus infimus, Pseudomonas azotogena, Ps. hypothermis, Ps. vadosa, Sarcina litoralis, Vibrio algosus, and Vibrio marinopraesens. Prevalent species in the surface sea water of the Indian Ocean are Ps. azotogena, Achr. stenohalis and Flavobacterium spp.
