Abstract excerpt
Small subunit ribosomal genes were explored using PCR-RFLP to facilitate the characterization of bacteria cultured from reared fry of the Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus). Concern has been expressed about pathogen invasion in larvae lacking a counteracting normal flora that may aid the immune system in producing robust noninfected individuals. In this study, pure cultured representatives of normal...
