Effect of Several Algicides and Surfactants on the Filamentous Bacterium Leucothrix mucor Oersted

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Leucothrix mucor Oersted, the primary cause of filamentous gill disease in cultured shrimp, was treated with algicides and surfactants by a serial dilution method. It was found to be highly sensitive to those algicides containing quaternary ammonium compounds. Copper-containing compounds and Formalin were less effective, whereas potassium permanganate and two surfactants, Dreft and Alconox, were ineffective.
