Description 35-38
A simple key which provides faster identification of marine luminous
bacteria based on 10 biochemical tests is presented. It is able to distinguish
among closely related marine luminous bacteria. Using this new key, luminous
bacteria of Tuticorin (India) coastal and shrimp farm environments were
distinguished into 5 different species, viz ., Vibrio fischeri, V.
harveyi, V. oricntalis, V. splendidus 1 and
Photobacterium leiognathi. Vibrio harveyi was the dominant species,
constituting 88.66 - 90.93 % of the total luminous population followed by V.
orientalis (4.43 - 4.46 %) and V. splendidus 1 (2. 11 - 3.35
%).
