 note = {Streptococci were isolated from freshwater and marine aquaculture environments by
use of a new developed selective medium, STAN agar. STAN agar is composed of BHI
agar with sodium azide and thallous sulphate as selective agents. The deposits in tilapia
culture ponds contained 10^{2}-10^{3} cfu/g of streptococci. For the raw-fish diets fed to cultured flounder and yellowtail, viable counts of streptococci were 10^{2} cfu/g at first and increased to 10^{4} cfu/g after they were dipped in sea water for 24h.
Streptococcus strains isolated from freshwater and marine environments were nonhemolytic, did not hydrolyse casein, starch and chitin, and ferment glucose, fructose, sucrose, trehalose and salicin. Marine isolates were different from freshwater ones in the
fermentation of some carbohydrates including lactose, galactose, raffinose and arabinose.},
