Abstract
Background and objectives: Vibrio cholerae O1 or non O1/non O139 is found in water ecosystems where it colonizes phytoplankton and has different lifestyle. This study aimed to investigate the impact of some algae extracts on the survival/growth of both V. cholerae strains.
Materials and methods: Algae extracts consisting of three fractions, F1 containing chlorophyll-a, F2 containing chlorophyll-b, and F3 containing carotenoids, and raw extract (RAE) were obtained from the algal bloom collected in the Kaliao stream (Maroua, Cameroon). The survival and growth of V. cholerae O1 and V. cholerae non O1/non O139, in microcosms consisting of sterile saline with these extracts and peptone (PEP) respectively added at concentrations of 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 mg/L, and 50/50 mixtures F1+F2, F2+F3, and F2+PEP at a concentration 0.05 mg/L, were compared during a 24h experiment.
Results: The microcosms F2 and RAE did not support the growth of O1 strain; V. cholerae non O1/non O139 count in all algae extract microcosms ranging from 3.97 log (CFU/mL) to 5.2 log (CFU/mL). In all PEP microcosms, the counts of both strains reached an uncountable value. Microcosms F1+F2 and F2+F3 supported the growth of V. cholerae O1 and V. cholerae non-O1/nonO139 strains.
Conclusion: The algae compounds showed strain-specific effect on the growth of V. cholerae.
期刊介绍:
The Iranian Journal of Microbiology (IJM) is an international, multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that provides rapid publication of the most advanced scientific research in the areas of basic and applied research on bacteria and other micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses, yeasts, fungi, microalgae, and protozoa concerning the development of tools for diagnosis and disease control, epidemiology, antimicrobial agents, clinical microbiology, immunology, Genetics, Genomics and Molecular Biology. Contributions may be in the form of original research papers, review articles, short communications, case reports, technical reports, and letters to the Editor. Research findings must be novel and the original data must be available for review by the Editors, if necessary. Studies that are preliminary, of weak originality or merely descriptive as well as negative results are not appropriate for the journal. Papers considered for publication must be unpublished work (except in an abstract form) that is not under consideration for publication anywhere else, and all co-authors should have agreed to the submission. Manuscripts should be written in English.
