Antagonistic interactions among marine pelagic bacteria

Article Abstract:

Many marine bacteria produce substances that can inhibit the growth of other bacteria. In a study of 86 marine bacterial species, more than half produced some type of antibiotic against another species. Particle-associated bacteria were more likely to produce antibiotics than free-living bacteria.

Actively growing bacteria in the inland sea of Japan, identified by combined bromodeoxyuridine immunocapture and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis

Article Abstract:

Different techniques are employed to reveal the growing bacterial species in soil and lake water. This study reveals the consistent cooccurence of diverse taxa is commonly reported and there is only a limited amount of culture independent data on contemporaneous growth of diverse bacterial taxa.

Growth of Vibrio cholerae O1 in red tide waters off California

Article Abstract:

The proliferation of the Vibrio cholerae N1691 during a Lingulodinium polydrum bloom, and other seawater conditions is tested. The results suggest an important role of the growth of free-living Vibrio cholerae in disease propagation and prevention during phytoplankton blooms.
