Evaluation of the growth of Vibrio natriegens strains in a medium containing chitin derivatives and shrimp shell hydrolysate

In this study, V. natriegens strains 10.3 and N5.3 isolated from Vietnam were compared with the reference strain V. natriegens DSM 759 for their growth performances in medium containing separately glucose and chitin monomers. Strain N5.3 showed the best growth rate among the 3 tested strains, exceptionally in medium containing glucosamine with nearly 1.5 times faster than strains 10.3 and DSM 759.
