B. Gomezgil et al., BIOENCAPSULATION OF 2 DIFFERENT VIBRIO SPECIES IN NAUPLII OF THE BRINE SHRIMP (ARTEMIA-FRANCISCANA), Applied and environmental microbiology, 64(6), 1998, pp. 2318-2322
Two groups of nauplii from the brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) were
enriched with different bacteria, and the dynamics of bacterial uptak
e by the nauplii were observed. This study showed that the efficiency
of Artemia nauplii in bioencapsulating bacteria strongly depends on th
e type of bacteria used, time of exposure, and status (live or dead) o
f the bacteria.
