| Popis: | The summer occurrence and distribution of halophilic vibrios in the subtropical coastal waters of Hong Kong were investigated. The density of vibrios in six sample sites ranged from 90 to 6,700 per ml, which made up 0.41 to 40% of the total bacterial populations of these sample sites. The sucrose-positive vibrios were found to be much more common (88% of total vibrios) than the sucrose-negative ones. A total of 48 strains belonging to six Vibrio species were fully characterized. Among these, Vibrio alginolyticus was the most frequently isolated, followed by V. parahaemolyticus, V. harveyi, V. vulnificus, V. campbellii, and V. fluvialis. The finding that eight of the nine strains of V. harveyi showed a positive Kanagawa reaction warrants further study. |
