The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival responses of four strains of Vibrio alginolyticits in seawater under starvation conditions. We used microcosms containing sterilised seawater and incubated at ambient temperature (22-25 degrees C). V alginolyticus maintained its culturability for at least nine months. Long-term-starved cells showed an absence or a decrease in their enzymatic activities. Resuscitation assays of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) cells were conducted and the recovery of these cells was achieved after the addition of nutrients. Amplified 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) restriction analysis (ARDRA) was used to confirm that the same strain of V alginolyticus persisted in all microcosms during a long period of time. Starved cells maintained their infectivity for gilt head sea bream (Sparus aurata) and sea bass (Dicentrachus labrax) as determined by intraperitoneal challenges. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
