Antibacterial Activity Of Eisenia Fetida Andrei Celomic Fluid .3. Relationship Within The Polymorphic Hemolysins
DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY(1991)
Abstract
The antibacterial activity exhibited by 10 different hemolytic, genetic families was established by measuring the inhibition of spontaneous in vitro growth by cell-free coelomic fluid toward 2 bacteria which are pathogenic for the earthworm: Bacillus megaterium (Gram +) and Aeromonas hydrophila (Gram -). Only two families (B and K) displayed potent inhibitory activities. This finding is consistent with the fact that the B family occurs most frequently in both natural as well as in industrial breedings. Nevertheless, evidence of a poor antibacterial defense in some frequent families suggests the existence of alternative antibacterial mechanisms.
