Abstract

A mathematical model for the interaction of Bdellovibrio and its prey predicted that a relatively high prey density (7×10⁵ cells ml^-1) would be required for the establishment of an equilibrium in a mixed population [8]. The present report shows that Bdellovibrio can be maintained in a continuous culture when the prey cell density is much lower (2-5×10⁴ cells ml^-1), and closer to that of naturally occurring bacterial populations in sea waters.
