Quorum sensing (QS) regulatesPhaeobacter gallaeciensis antagonism in broth systems; however, we demonstrate here that QS is not important for antagonism in algal cultures. QS mutants reducedVibrio anguillarum to the same extent as the wild type. Consequently, a combination of probioticPhaeobacter and QS inhibitors is a feasible strategy for aquaculture disease control.
