Notes:
The kinetics of adhesion of Listonella anguillarum cells to skin, intestinal and gill mucus suspensions of gilt-head seabream was studied. A Langmuir adsorption isotherm was calculated, and the results obtained indicated that this microorganism showed a saturation kinetics. The pretreatment of the mucus suspensions with a surface extract obtained from L. anguillarum cells promoted a very important inhibition of the number of adhered bacteria to the different mucus suspensions. The potential role of surface structures on the adhesion of L. anguillarum to mucus of gilt-head seabream is discussed.
