Abstract: | The bacteria from 119 sediment samples collected off the Belgian and Dutch North Sea coast were enumerated on marine agar. Geographical and seasonal variations were observed. The colony formers were mainly obligate aerobes. Coliform organisms were relatively rare. An exhaustive analysis of a few samples revealed a great number of species belonging to different taxonomic groups. A survey of physiological and biochemical characteristics of 71 isolates is presented. |
