Abstract

Abstract

The distribution and composition of luminous bacteria in the estuary of the Changjiang River were investigated preliminaryly. Luminous bacteria were found in all of the 24 water samples collected in various depths at 6 stations on October 23-25 in 1979.It was observed that the abundance of luminous bacteria(total number) appeared to be 0.33-3.67 colony-forming units(CFU) per m1.94 luminous bacterial strains were determined and showed to consist of both photobacterium mnndmpmmensis and Lucibacterium haraeyi. L. harveyi was mainly found in surface sediments and also found in midand lower-water, but P.rrsandatpamensis was present throughout the whole water column. In a survey of physiologicaland biochemical charactersities of P. mmndupnmensis strains, differences were found in the fermentation of sugars.
