Vibrio tapetis CECT4600 is a pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium causing the brown ring disease in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum. This vibriosis is induced by bacterial attachment on the periostracal lamina, yielding a decalcification of the bivalve shell. As in many bacterial species, pathogenesis is likely related to biofilm formation. The proteinaceous exoproducts of the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. 3J6 inhibit the formation of biofilm by most of the tested marine bacteria without affecting their planktonic growth. In the present work, we examined the sensitivity of V. tapetis to Pseudoalteromonas sp. 3J6 and its exoproducts. In V. tapetis CECT4600-GFP-Pseudoalteromonas sp. 3J6 co-cultures, the latter outcompeted V. tapetis whatever the growth mode (planktonic or biofilm), which could result from a slower growth of V. tapetis. Biofilms containing only V. tapetis were grown in vitro on a glass substratum under dynamic conditions. When the glass was coated with a culture supernatant of Pseudoalteromonas sp. 3J6 (SN(3J6)) prior to inoculating V. tapetis CECT4600-GFP, the bacterial attachment was about fivefold lower than in control experiment without SN3J6 and the biofilm formation was delayed by about 24 h: A full biofilm was obtained at 48 versus 24 h for the control. Moreover, a preformed V. tapetis biofilm (grown on SN(3J6)-free glass substratum) could be disrupted by incubating it with SN3J6. This data suggest that Pseudoalteromonas sp. 3J6 is a good candidate to set up an anti-V. tapetis strategy usable in aquaculture to grow V. tapetis-free Manila clam spats.
