Research Abstract	To contribute to a better understanding of the roles of heterotrophic bacteria in organic matter dynamics in marine environments, not only the ability of whole bacterial community but also diversity of the ability of each bacteria in the community and their interaction were addressed. It was suggested that high variety of bacterial ability for organic matter degradation and their combined action might be a base of mechanisms to transform and utilize various organic matters efficiently in aquatic ecosystem.
