Adverse Effects of Immobilised Pseudoalteromonas on the Fish Pathogenic Vibrio anguillarum: An In Vitro Study

Figure 6

Logarithmic presentation of P. sp. strain MLms_gA3 viable cell counts [cfu mL⁻¹] ((a) planktonic, (b) immobilised in alginate beads, and (c) immobilised as an artificial biofilm on a ceramic tile) in the presence of V. anguillarum (light grey bars) compared to the viable cell counts without V. anguillarum (control, dark grey bars) over a period of 28 days. (a) Initial concentration of planktonic cells was ~10⁴ cfu mL⁻¹ on day 0. (b) 15 alginate beads were added to each treatment on day 0. (c) One ceramic tile was added to each treatment on day 0.
