Abstract

The heterotrophic bacterial population associated with seaweeds (Enteromorpha sp.,Chaetomorpha sp. andHypnea sp.) and water of the Vellar Estuary, Porto Novo, were estimated. Total heterotrophic bacteria associated with the seaweeds were found to be more abundant than in water samples. Representative cultures were isolated and their morphological and biochemical characteristics were studied. In addition, production of amylase, lipase and proteinase of the isolates was also studied.Bacillus, Corynebacterium, Vibrio, Alcaligenes andPseudomonas were the genera commonly encountered. The role of these bacteria associated with seaweeds is discussed.
