The survival rate of fish fry appears to become higher when powders of foraminifer limestone are submerged at the bottom of fish-farming fields, where bacterial biofilms often grow. The observations suggest that forming biofilms can benefit to keep health status of breeding fishes. We employed culture-based methods for the identification and characterization of biofilm-forming bacteria ...[more]
