Abstract
A new species ofHyphomicrobium is described. The organism was isolated from a sample of stored seawater originating from the harbor of Barcelona, Spain. The life cycles and various morphological types are illustrated by photomicrographs. Growth takes place readily on simple peptone media with the addition of a small amount of calcium or magnesium salt, or seawater. The general physiological and cultural characteristics are recorded.
