碩士 / 國立中山大學 / 海洋資源學系研究所 / 88 / Presently, most bacterial diseases of eel (Anguilla japonica) are controlled by antibiotics. However, antibiotics not only kill the bacterial pathogens but also kill those bacteria which might be beneficial to eels. In the meantime, application of antibiotics may result in spreading and accumulation of the resistance genes which may in turn lower the efficacy the antibiotics in the future and may threat public health. The recent trend to such problems is to screen non-pathogenic bacteria which are competitive to the pathogenic bacteria in the same environments. The eel pathogen, Edwardsiella tarda, was chosen as the target in this study. Bacterial strains were isolated from different eel ponds and tested for the ability to inhibit the growth of E. tarda. Of 2,412 strains tested, eight of them showed the inhibition capability. The molecular weights of the bioactive ingredients are all smaller than 12,000 daltons indicating they are not protein in nature. One of the strains is Bacillus cereus, four of the strains are Bacillus sphaericus, two of the strains are Bacillus laterosporus, and one of the strains of identified as Pseudomonas areuginosa competed extremely well with E. tarda. These antagonistic bacteria may have the potential of becoming as bio-control agents.Tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is an important agricultural product in Taiwan. The over all production peaked in 1988, since then the outbreak of viral infection has caused the shrimp aquaculture a heavy damage. The current production is merely 1/10 of the peak. Many solutions were proposed to solve the problem, such as: increase the immunity of the shrimp, study pumping of the underground water has caused serious land subsidence in the coastal areas. Therefore, conservation of water is the trend of current aquaculture. In this study, culturable bacteria were isolated from a closed tiger shrimp pond. The taxonomy of the bacteria was based on 16S rDNA sequence phylogeny. Roughly 8 groups (genera) of bacteria were identified, including: Vibrio, Pseudoalteromonas, Porphyrobacter, Flavobacterium, Rhodthermus and three uncertain genera.
