Fig. 6From: Contributions of tropodithietic acid and biofilm formation to the probiotic activity of Phaeobacter inhibens Oyster larvae survival in the presence of P. inhibens strains after challenge with V. tubiashii. The P. inhibens S4Sm strains (1 × 104 CFU/ml) were introduced 24 h before larvae were challenged with V. tubiashii RE22Sm (1 × 105 CFU/ml). Oyster larvae treated only with artificial seawater served as control (mock). Oyster larvae survival (% ±SD) was determined 24 h after challenge with RE22Sm Bars marked with an asterisk (*) show significant differences (p <0.05). Representative of at least 3 experiments.
