Abstract

In the freshwater fish ponds, Bacillus spp. were found to be the dominant bacteria
producing phosphatase. The alkaline phosphatase activity of sediment was always
higher than that of water. In the case of water, though the 'dissolved' alkaline
phosphatase activity was lower than the 'total' alkaline phosphatase activity, the
former was nevertheless unimportant as it constituted about 20% of the 'total'
activity.
