Biotic and abiotic surfaces in marine waters are rapidly colonized by microorganisms.
Surface colonization and subsequent biofilm formation and development provide numerous …

Bdellovibrio and like organisms (BALOs) prey on Gram‐negative bacteria in the planktonic
phase as well as in biofilms, with the ability to reduce prey populations by orders of …

In many ecological communities, predation has a key role in regulating community structure
or function. Although predation has been extensively explored in animals and microbial …

A fundamental question in community ecology is the role of predator–prey interactions in
food-web stability and species coexistence. Although microbial microcosms offer powerful …

This study assessed the intestinal microbiota of juveniles of the White shrimp Litopenaus
vannamei, whose feed was enriched with three probiotic formulations: Streptomyces sp. RL8 …

The impact of key environmental factors, salinity, prey, and temperature, on the survival and
ecology of Bdellovibrio and like bacteria (BALOs), including the freshwater/terrestrial, non …

Almost sixty years ago, Bdellovibrio and like organisms (BALOs) were discovered as the first
obligate bacterial predators of other bacteria known to science. Since then, they were shown …

Biofilms are a major concern within the food industry since they have the potential to reduce
productivity in situ (within the field), impact food stability and storage, and cause downstream …

This study has two main objectives:(1) to implement a recycling aquaculture system (RS) for
the larvae of the oyster Crassostrea gigas, and (2) to characterise the bacterial communities …

We evaluated the toxicity of surfactants against different predatory bacteria. Tests with
Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD100 and SDS, an anionic surfactant, showed the predator was …
