Most of the bacteria isolated from water and sediment samples from a locality off the west coast of Sweden had an absolute requirement for Na+. On the basis of phenotypic characterization and determination of DNA base composition, the strains could be assigned to the genera Beneckea, Alteromonas and Pseudomonas. Apart from a group of sulphide‐forming alteromonads, none of the isolates appeared to be identical with organisms described previously.
