摘要：

Water, sediment, and wooden pilings, samples of which were collected from a harbor in Puerto Rico during the course of a long-term study of biofouling of wood treated with creosote and related compounds, were found to support growth of microbial populations, the dominant taxa of which included Hyphomicrobium, Hyphomonas, Pseudomonas, Vibrio, and Bacillus. New wood exposed to the harbor water was rapidly colonized by Hyphomicrobium vulgare. Old pilings in an advanced stage of biodeterioration maintained a diverse bacterial microflora, representatives of which were also found widely distributed in the water column and sediment. Evidence for bacterial species succession was obtained, indicating that microbial interactions are important for attachment to, and subsequent colonization of, wood surfaces in the marine environment.
