- Abstract
The article presents a study on the biodiversity of culturable bacteria in the San Jorge Gulf in Argentina through the use of oligotrophic, heterotrophic and hydrocarbon degrading media to isolate the bacteria. Bacterial fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles is cited to be used to identify the bacteria from the 1,532 strains isolated. Pseudoalteromonas is revealed as the most abundant, comprising 17 percent of the isolated bacteria. Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, and Bacillus are mentioned as some of the gram-positive bacteria identified.
