Abstract:
marine bacterium, Micrococcus MCCB 104, isolated from hatchery water, demonstrated
extracellular antagonistic properties against Vibrio alginolyticus, V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus,
V. fluviallis, V. nereis, V. proteolyticus, V. mediterranei, V. cholerae and Aeromonas sp., bacteria
associated with Macrobrachium rosenbergii larval rearing systems. The isolate inhibited the
growth of V. alginolyticus during co-culture. The antagonistic component of the extracellular product
was heat-stable and insensitive to proteases, lipase, catalase and α-amylase. Micrococcus MCCB 104
was demonstrated to be non-pathogenic to M. rosenbergii larvae
