Abstract
- The use of bdellovibrios has been regarded as an alternative to control multidrug-resistant pathogens and fish bacteriosis. However, scarce information is available on the potential of bdellovibrios in the presence of copper sulfate, which is an algicide widely used to treat cyanobacterial blooms in aquaculture. In the present study, the effects of copper sulfate at sublethal and lethal levels (0.1 and 1.0 mg·L−1) on Bdellovibrio sp. strain BDF-H16 were evaluated. The growth of Bdellovibrio sp. strain BDF-H16 was significantly promoted by both concentrations of copper sulfate, but less so by the lethal concentration. The bacteriolysis of gibel carp-pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila by Bdellovibrio sp. strain BDF-H16 was also stimulated by copper sulfate in both solid and liquid media. However, Bdellovibrio sp. strain BDF-H16 with 0.1 mg·L−1 copper sulfate clearly inhibited infection of gibel carps by A. hydrophila better than Bdellovibrio sp. strain BDF-H16 with 1.0 mg·L−1 copper sulfate did.
