Description 174-176
Aerobic heterotrophic bacterial flora in the coastal waters of Cochin was studied for 1 y at monthly intervals. Bacterial counts (no. ml-1) ranged from 0.5 to 24.5 x 10 5. Their counts were high during summer and the station, 3 sea miles off Cochin had maximum bacterial load throughout the year. The macromolecule hydrolysing bacterial population varied from 0.2 to 6.8 x 10 5. Among the isolates, gram negative bacteria accounted for 88 per cent and pigmented forms for 23.4 per cent. Most frequently encountered genera were Pseudomonas (13 %), Aeromonas (13 %), Moraxella (8 %), Flexibacter (10.4 %) and Micrococcus (8 %).
