Summary: | C-type lysozyme has been described as an antibacterial component of the shrimp innate defence system. We determined quantitatively the antibacterial activity of white shrimp (
Litopenaeus vannamei) recombinant lysozyme against three Gram negative bacteria:
Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio parahemolyticus and
Vibrio cholerae, using a turbidimetric assay with live bacteria and differential bacterial viable count after interaction with the protein. In conclusion, the antibacterial activity of recombinant shrimp lysozyme against
Vibrio sp. is at least equal to the values against the Gram positive
M. luteus and more active against the shrimp pathogens
V. alginolyticus and
V. parahemolyticus. |
