Sea water is contaminated by Escherichia coli from the sewerage/polluted water coming from stream/rivers/drainage. However, due to higher salinity level, their growth in marine environment is questionable. Therefore, your comments, related to the title, bases on research are highly appreciated.

At zero concentration of both salts, growth of E. coli was very low at 44 C. Increase in the concentrations of both NaCl and KCl from 0.5% to 1.5% resulted in growth enhancement. However, the addition of the same concentration of glucose was found to have only a very slight effect on growth at 44oC.
