Figure 5. Influence of bacterial strains on rotifer growth.
Rotifer numbers in co-culture with P. gallaeciensis wild type (▾), with the TDA-negative mutant of P. gallaeciensis (♦), with only V. anguillarum (▴), and axenic rotifers (▪), first experiment. All bacteria were inoculated at day 0. Both P. gallaeciensis strains promoted rotifer growth, whereas V. anguillarum had no influence.
