| dc.description.abstract |
Chitosan is a biocompatible and biodegradable natural polymer with established
antimicrobial properties against specific microorganisms. The present study demonstrates its
antibacterial activity against 48 isolates of Vibrio species from prawn larval rearing systems. The
antibacterial activity had a positive correlation with the concentration of chitosan. This work opens
up avenues for using chitosan as a prophylactic biopolymer for protecting prawn larvae from
vibriosis. |
