| isolation of a novel strain of bacillus pumilus from penaeid shrimp that is inhibitory against marine pathogens. | a bacterium was isolated from the mid-gut of healthy black tiger shrimp, penaeus monodon, based on a large zone of inhibition in mixed culture on solid medium. the isolate was a gram-positive, motile spore former, with an optimum ph range for growth in tryptone soya broth containing 2% nacl of between ph 6 and 9. the bacterium was highly salt tolerant with concentrations between 0% and 8% having no detrimental effect on growth. the isolate was identified as bacillus pumilus based on physiologica ... | 2009 | 19573134 |
