However, it remains uncertain whether this phenomenon is widespread among bacterial species and whether E h measurements reflect similar mechanisms in more complex systems such as soils and sediments. It has been demonstrated that continuous measurements of E h are valuable for tracking bacterial metabolic activities of bacterial species in liquid cultures.

In natural aquatic communities, resistant strains of T. The presence of resistant oligochaetes in mixed cultures did not reduce the infection prevalence or parasite proliferation in susceptible individuals. However, both resistant and susceptible adults had highest growth when exposed to M. Total biomass production per individual oligochaete and progeny biomass produced by an individual adult oligochaete were density-dependent for both resistant and susceptible individuals and the effects did not change with the addition of myxospores. tubifex at 2 myxospore doses in a response-surface experimental design. tubifex, including progeny production and adult growth, parasite proliferation and prevalence of infection using 2 strains of T. We examined total biomass produced by individual T. Further, parasite proliferation differs by several orders of magnitude among T. tubifex with diverse genotypes often coexist in nature and have variable susceptibilities to M. We examined the interactions among Myxobolus cerebralis, the parasite that causes salmonid whirling disease, and resistant and susceptible strains of the oligochaete host Tubifex tubifex. Host-parasite interactions influence host population growth, host evolution and parasite success.
