Intestinal bacteria isolated from seven coastal fish were examined for their antibacterial ability against Vibrio vulnificus RIMD 2219009 using a double-layer method. Of 1055 bacteria examined, 28 (2.7%) isolates could inhibit the growth of the target strain. High activities (greater than or equal to 20.0 mm) were only seen in 15 isolates (1.4%), which were composed of 11 Vibrionaceae, three coryneforms and one Bacillus isolates, Since Bacillus sp. strain NM 12 isolated from the intestine of a dragonets (Callionymus sp.) showed the highest activity, it was chosen as an active strain. This bacterium efficiently produced an antibacterial substance when incubated in 50% PYBG liquid medium (pH = 6.5) prepared with 25% seawater for 48 h at 20 degrees C. At least one of the antibacterial substances was a heat labile siderophore with a molecular mass of less than 5 kDa and had a wide antibacterial spectrum: it inhibited the growth of 227 (62.5%) of 363 intestinal bacteria from seven coastal fish. These results suggest that Bacillus sp. strain NM 12 may be a suitable strain as a biocontrol agent in fish intestines and culture water. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
