The microbial organism with the second highest number of hits in all samples was
Alteromonas macleodii (GM 215 hits/sample [0.11%]).
In a similar study in Crassostrea gigas, Vibrio bacteria were detected in the highest abundance, followed by Cytophaga,
Alteromonas, Moraxella and Pseudomonas bacteria (Iida et al., 2000), and Ostrea edulis had abundant V.
Alteromonas is a proficient degrader of chitin in the marine environments.
A range of microorganisms (Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus,
Alteromonas, Coryne and Esherichi acoli) are known for the production of SK (Balaraman and Prabakaran, 2007).
