THE CHARACTERISTICS AND DISTRIBUTION OF MARINE BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM THE INDIAN OCEAN1

Abstract
During the eighth cruise of the RV Anton Bruun in the Indian Ocean, bacteria were collected from water, mud, fish, shark, and one island. The marine samples were collected from depths ranging from 100 to 3,050 m. A total of 127 isolates was classified to genus and the physiological response of the cultures to 17 diagnostic tests was related to their source. The physiological test response of the isolates, regardless of genus, was more highly correlated with the source of the cultures than were the genera as such.
