Analysis of Intraspecific Competition in Vibrio Cholerae Biofilms
The purpose of this work - the development of model biofilms way quickly determine intraspecific inhibitory activity of Vibrio cholerae from a study INDEL-markers. We used three of toxigenic strains of V. cholerae and nontoxigenic strain isolated in 2015 from the river water. It is found that one of toxigenic strains studied is able to successfully withstand the inhibiting activity nontoxigenic strain, in planktonic form, and as part of the biofilm. In our opinion, the ability of toxigenic Vibrio strains resist intraspecific competition can be of great biological significance. The greatest danger when released into water bodies are toxigenic strains of V. cholerae «resistant» phenotype can withstand inhibitory activity nontoxigenic strains.
