✦ Synopsis
A bacterial population has been sampled in front of the Rh6ne outlet in the Mediterranean Sea. Quantitative estimations of cells density show important variations resulting from river outflow; data ranged from 5 x 10 3 to 1,7 x l0 s cells/ml.
Standard taxinomic methods are used to assign tentative genera. Most of the bacteria are Gram negative sporeless rods, especially those which are motile.
The strains belong to the genera Pseudomonus-Xanthomonas (49°/o), Achromobazter-Alcaligenes (13%), Flavobacterium (13%), Bacillus, Micrococcus, Proteus, Vibrio ; a few remain unknown or are not bacteria but yeasts.
Many strains hold proteolytic activity potential; on the contrary carbohydrates are scarcely assimilated.
In spite of the influence of river waters, 50% of the strains are obviously from marine origin.
