INVESTIGATING QUORUM-QUENCHING MARINE BACILLI AS POTENTIAL BIOCONTROL AGENTS FOR PROTECTION OF SHRIMPS AGAINST EARLY MORTALITY SYNDROME (EMS)

Investigating quorum-quenching marine bacilli as potential biocontrol agents for protection of shrimps against Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS)

Abstract Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) has been a major problem for shrimp aquaculture in Southeast Asia due to its epizootic prevalence within the region since the first reported case in 2009.This study explores the application of halophilic marine bacilli isolated from coral mucus and their quorum-quenching abilities as potential biocontrol agen
