Starvation affected the adhesion of V. alginolyticus. (A) qPCR analysis of the expression of sdhC, sucC, pckA, pdhB, acnA, and oorA after starvation for 1, 3, 5, and 7 days. The data are presented as the means ± SD, n = 6. The means of the treatments not sharing a common letter are significantly different at P < 0.05. (B) Count of culturable bacteria after starvation for 1, 3, 5, and 7 days. The data are presented as the means ± SD, n = 6. The means of the treatments not sharing a common letter are significantly different at P < 0.05. (C) The adhesion capacity to mucus of V. alginolyticus after starvation for 1, 3, 5, and 7 days. The data are presented as the means ± SD, n = 3. The means of the treatments not sharing a common letter are significantly different at P < 0.05, as assessed using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test.
