title: Association of luminous bacteria with artificial and natural surfaces in arabian gulf seawater.
abstract: Luminous bacteria in seawater around the islands of Bahrain are predominantly Vibrio harveyi and have the capability to adhere to artificial fibrous surfaces. Phytoplankton did not appear to have any specific relationship with luminous bacteria, but macroalgae were shown to possess an enhanced concentration of luminous bacteria.
