The bacteria utilizing 3-chlorobenzoate as a sole carbon and energy source were isolated by Most-Probable-Number technique and identified in Korean coastal waters. Pseudomonas, Moraxella and Flavobacterium were dominant genera and comprised 70.2 % of total isolates. Forty-four biochemical, cultural, morphological and physiological tests were performed and average linking cluster analysis was conducted from the test results. Total 92.7 % of isolates were clustered into 17 groups under the 80 % similarity level. The degradation of 3-chlorobenzoate was performed by many heterogeneous bacteria and the species diversity of these bacterial group offers information of the stability of bacterial communities in relation to carbon compound cycling in coastal environments
