A numerical taxonomic study of pelagic and epibenthic bacteria from the northwest Atlantic Ocean near Newfoundland
An examination of bacterial strains from the pelagic and epibenthic regions from the water column in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean near Newfoundland was made. Ninety-one strains were recovered from the pelagic an epibenthic regions and tested for 135 binary characters. Using numerical analysis, cl...
