Serum from the horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, was examined for bactericidal activity against five species of bacteria. Greatest activity was found against Pseudomonas putida and Flavobacterium sp.; with the former, serum dilutions as high as 1:20 were capable of reducing viable counts by 50% within 2 h. Bactericidal activity of a significantly lesser magnitude was demonstrated against Serratia marcesencs and Salmonella minnesota. No killing was seen when the lobster pathogen Aerococcus viridans (formerly Gaffkya homari) was used. The cidal activity against Flavobacterium sp. remained relatively consistent for 6 months.
对鲎(美洲鲎)的血清进行了检测,以观察其对五种细菌的杀菌活性。发现其对恶臭假单胞菌和黄杆菌属的活性最强;对于前者,高达1:20的血清稀释液能够在2小时内使活菌数减少50%。对粘质沙雷氏菌和明尼苏达沙门氏菌的杀菌活性明显较低。当使用龙虾病原体绿色气球菌(以前称为龙虾加夫基菌)时,未观察到杀菌效果。对黄杆菌属的杀菌活性在6个月内保持相对稳定。
