anthina strains were grown in
sterilized liquid NBRIP medium (20 mL) at 30 °C for 2
d with continuous shaking at 150 rpm. Aliquots (1 mL)
of each culture (108
CFU mL-1 of each inoculant) were
then transferred to a 500 mL flask (n = 3 per strain)
containing sterilized liquid NBRIP medium (200 mL)
and incubated for 3 d with continuous shaking at 30 °C
