Observation on coliform, heterotrophic, and pathogen bacteria in sea water and sediment in Malaka Strait Waters were carried out in August 2001. The results showed that in the sea water, the coliform bacteria content lied between 140-2113 col/100 ml with averages 753.2 col/100 ml, heterotrophic bacteria (oligotrophic) between 25-1564 col/ml with averages 495.2 col/ml, bacteria heterotrophic (eutrophic) between 19-242 col/ml with averages 106.7 col/ml; hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria between 27-1100 MPN/ml with averages 368.4 MPN/ml. In the sediment, heterotrophic bacteria (oligotrophic) content lied between 86-851.5 col/ml with averages 340.8 col/ml, (eutrophic) between 5-196 col/ml with averages 70.95 col/ml; hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria between 11-1100 MPN/ml with averages 245.7 MPN/ml. Beside both bacteria, also found 7 species of pathogen bacteria in sea water and 4 in sediment. Based on bacterial content it was considered that quality of this water wae bad.
