Abstract
Generic composition of aerobic bacterial flora of plankton was compared with that of seawater. More than 70% of the heterotrophic bacteria from most of the plankton samples were Vibrio and Aeromonas, while the percentage of occurrence of these genera in the seawater flora was about 45%. The assumption that some Vibrio and Aeromonas are closely associated with marine organisms was discussed.Keywords
