Bibliography: leaves 166-191 / Bacteria were isolated from the kelp beds on the West Coast of South Africa. Strains isolated from the water column and kelp fronds were classified as Pseudomonas, Vibrio, Acinetobacter and Flavobacterium species. Bacterial diversity in adjacent kelp dominated habitats was examined using numerical analysis, and it was found that nearshore and offshore isolates were similar, whereas bacteria isolated from beached kelp and interstitial waters were dissimilar from them and from each other. Changes in numbers of bacteria able to form colonies on plates were monitored during upwelling and downwelling conditions.
