The antimicrobial activities of ethanolic and hexane extracts of nine species of marine macroalgae collected in the intertidal zone of the San Francisco beach, Ancón, in Lima, Peru were evaluated. It was performed in vitro against a panel of standard Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 51922) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 and Salmonella Typhimurium 14028). The ethanolic extracts were of higher yield (67%) compared to hexanes (33%), especially against the Gram-positive, being the extract obtained from Ulva enteromorpha var. intestinalis and U. nematoidea the most efficient against S. aureus ATCC 6538 (74.1 and 78.2% inhibition, respectively). The ethanol extracts of Cladophora sp and U. nematoidea against B. subtilis ATCC 6633 showed moderate to low inhibitio...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antagonistic activity of a collection of 24 actinomycetes of marine sediment against wild species of Vibrio. Actinomycetes were characterized by their growth in Marine Agar and their extracellular enzymatic activity on different substrates. The antagonist activity was determined by in vitro tests against six strains of Vibrio isolated from Litopenaeus vannamei. Actinomycetes with greater antagonism were evaluated by their growth in standard ISP media and observations of microphotographs by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques were done. The Vibrio strains were evaluated and identified by conventional biochemical techniques and confirmed by PCR. The results indicated that all actinomycetes showed at least some extracellular multi-enzymatic activity, predominating those that hydrolyze starch (79%). Antagonism tests indicated that 54...

El objetivo principal del presente estudio fue evaluar la actividad antagonista de una colección de 24 actinomicetos de sedimento marino frente a especies silvestres de Vibrio. Los actinomicetos fueron caracterizados por su crecimiento en Agar Marino y su actividad enzimática extracelular sobre diferentes sustratos. La actividad antagonista se evaluó mediante pruebas in vitro frente a seis cepas de Vibrio aisladas de Litopenaeus vannamei. Los actinomicetos de mayor antagonismo fueron evaluados por su crecimiento en medios estándares ISP y se hicieron observaciones de microfotografías por técnicas de microscopía electrónica de barrido (MEB). Las cepas de Vibrio fueron evaluadas e identificadas mediante técnicas bioquímicas convencionales y confirmadas por PCR. Los resultados indicaron que la totalidad de actinomicetos mostraron al menos alguna actividad multi-enzimática extrace...

lt was isolated a total of 124 strains marine bacteria. The obtained results gave 70 strains (56.44%) with proteolytic activity. Five strains that presented the best halos to determinative the optimization of kinetic parameters (NaCl, pH and temperature). The genus Pseudomonas presented the best proteolytic activity with extracts of 72 hours. The phenotypic characterization of five strains, were 3 of genus Aeromonas, one Pseudomonas and one Alcaligenes.

This study evaluated the presence of bacterial and micotic agents in 120 paiches(Arapaima gigas) in two fish farms in the Peruvian Amazon. Findings included sevenbacterial agents: Pseudomonas spp, Bacillus spp, Staphylococcus spp, Streptococcusspp, Escherichia spp, Aeromonas hydrophila and Corynebacterium spp, and one fungus:Saprolegnia spp.

Se evaluó la presencia de agentes bacterianos y micóticos en 120 paiches (Arapaimagigas) de dos centros de cultivo de la Amazonía peruana. Se reporta la presencia de siete agentes bacterianos: Pseudomonas spp, Bacillus spp, Staphylococcus spp, Streptococcus spp, Escherichia spp, Aeromonas hydrophila y Corynebacterium spp, y de un hongo: Saprolegnia spp.

The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize phenotypically and molecularly the pathogen Edwardsiella anguillarum, as well as to determine the anatomo-histopathological lesions in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) cultivated with biofloc technology in the northern area of Lima, Peru. Five isolated bacterial strains were isolated and characterized by conventional biochemical techniques and by the API 20E system. E. anguillarum was identified from internal organs using biochemical and molecular techniques. The most frequent external clinical signs were bilateral exophthalmia, erythema in the pectoral fins and around the anus. Internally, whitish nodules in the heart and liver were observed. The histopathological study revealed necrosis in the branchial lamellae, spleen, intestine, posterior kidney and gonad, as well as the presence of an inflammatory reaction of granulomatous type i...
