Abstract This study investigated potential application of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in depuration for
reducing Vibrio parahaemolyticus in oysters. Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014, which
exhibited strong bactericidal effects against V. parahaemolyticus in vitro, was added to artificial
seawater for depuration of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) inoculated with V.
parahaemolyticus BE 98-2029 (O3:K6) to levels of about 10⁴ MPN/g at 15±1 and 10±1ºC.
Application of L. plantarum ATCC 8014 treatment (10⁷ CFU/mL) in oyster depuration did not
enhance reductions of V. parahaemolyticus in oysters depurated at 15±1ºC but significantly
decreased (p<0.05) levels of V. parahaemolyticus in oysters depurated at 10±1°C after 5 days
(3.40 log reductions) when compared with controls (2.75 log reductions). It is not clear if a
competitive exclusion by LABs to compete with V. parahaemolyticus binding sites in oyster
tissues plays a role in the reduction of V. parahaemolyticus in the oysters. Further studies
utilizing different types of LABs in oyster depuration might provide additional knowledge for
application of LAB in depuration for decontaminating V. parahaemolyticus in oysters.
