Some new species of marine bacteria
Abstract
Examinations of some bacterial strains present in the Adriatic have been carried out. Descriptions and classifications are given for thirteen bacterial strains found in the Kaštela Bay.
Five out these thirteen strains belong to the family Micrococcaceae i. e. four from the genus Micrococcus, and one from the genus Sarcina.
Seven out of these thirteen strains belong to the family Pseudomona-daceae, all of them representing the genus Pseudomonas. While four out of these seven strains represent separate species, three of them are considered varieties. It is assumed that one of these strains is a variety of the described species called Pseudomonas adhaerens. But the question remains open whether two of the three strains are varieties of the third one, characterized as a separate species, Pseudomonas variabilis, or are, perhaps> all the three only varieties of a hitherto not described species.
One of the examined strains is considered representative of the family Bacillaceae, that is from the Bacillus.
