Surface interactions between Escherichia coli and hemocytes of the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Lam. leading to efficient bacterial clearance

Article Abstract:

Association and adherence were tested for the fimbriated strain MG155 of Escherichia coli and Mytilus galloprovincialis Lam. hemocytes, using hemolymph serum and incubation. Findings indicate that bacterial survival and persistence within the mussel hemolymph are significantly influenced by surface properties.

Role of surface proteins in Vibrio cholerae attachment to chitin

Article Abstract:

The role of surface proteins in the attachment of Vibrio cholerae to chitin particles in vitro has been studied. V. cholerae O1 classical strains ATCC 14034 and ATCC 14035, marine broth 2216 and thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts sucrose agar were used in the study. The strains were grown on the marine broth with 10 microCi of (methyl-3H)thymidine. Results indicated that treating the strains with pronase E weakened the attachment of Vibrio to chitin particles by 57% to 77%.
