Antibacterial spectrum and some other characteristics of an antimicrobial factor produced by Yersinia ruckeri.
Yersinia ruckeri produces an antibacterial factor which inhibits the growth of a wide spectrum of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, though not other strains of Y. ruckeri. The antibacterial factor was produced at low temperatures (4-20 degrees C), but not at 37 degrees C. The activity was lost after treatment of the supernatant with chloroform, UV-light and after boiling of the supernatant. One did not succeed in obtaining the antibacterial factor in a sterile solution.
