Abstract
A mathematical model for the interaction ofBdellovibrio and its prey predicted that a relatively high prey density (7×10(5) cells ml(-1)) would be required for the establishment of an equilibrium in a mixed population [8]. The present report shows thatBdellovibrio can be maintained in a continuous culture when the prey cell density is much lower (2-5×10(4) cells ml(-1)), and closer to that of naturally occurring bacterial populations in sea waters.Year: 1984 PMID: 24221089 DOI: 10.1007/BF02011416
