Abstract:

During the summer of Antarctic in 1993/1994, the species and amount of hydrocarbon bacteria of the Great Wall Bay and its adjacent sea area have been studied. Flavobacterium, Pseudomonas, Kurthia and Actinetobacter have been identified. The number of them varied from 3 cell/L to 1100 cell/L. The number in the inner bay is larger than that out of it. The dispersing is a very important way of the changing of hydrocarbon bacteria.

Key words: Great Wall Bay, Antarctica, hydrocarbon bacteria
