Abstract

Recently luminous Vibrio campbellii has been recognised as a cosmopolitan pathogen in seafood and aquaculture industry. The significance of this study is to present the findings derived from longer-term starvation experiment on intense luminescence producing bacteria Vibrio campbellii strain STF1. This strain was isolated from surface swab of Synanceia verrucosa (stone fish) and subjected to the starvation-survival procedure. The viability rate of this culture was determined following spread plate method by counting viable cells in starter inoculum and in the same starvation culture. It was observed that 90 to 95% of luminous bacteria could remain viable for over 4 years under nutrient deficiency condition. This study also determines the effectiveness of the preservation of luminous bacteria in sterile sweater.
