Abstract
The lactic acid bacteria and the aerobic pseudomadaceae were studied. Aged sea water was used to best simulate the environment of these organisms. Rincon coast presents areas were pseudomonas group III predominates, while Mayaguez bay afforded no pseudomonas group I. Vibrios were absent from all these stations. Tallaboa bay shows some groups of stations to have only one species while others showed ample flora of micrococci. Several physiological characteristics of both gram positive micrococci and gram negative bacilli were found to differ from biochemical and physiological characteristics reported by others sampling from similar environments. Due to the fast development of industry in Puerto Rico with general coastal localization and increased energy demand, it is urgent to continue the study of coastal areas in relation to the benthic bacterial ecology.
