| Abstract |
Detergent-degrading bacteria isolated from the Han River downstream running through the center of Seoul area were identified. Samples were monthly taken from the surface waters at four designated sites from October, 1980 to August, 1981. Isolated strains were characteristically Gram-negative bacteria in all, and they were classified within 18 genera, 43 species. The dominant strains of detergent -degrading bacteria were within geneus Pseudomonas. On the regional distribution of detergent-degrading bacteria, Euterobacteriaceae and genus Aeromonas were suddenly increased at the Third Bridge of site 2 and the First Bridge of site 3, and others were almost the same regardless of sites. |
