Ten strains of bacteria were isolated from the gut of Mytilus coruscus to study its role in the settlement of larvae and plantigrade by forming biofilms. Results showed that the inducing ability of the biofilms formed by ten bacteria were different, although all of them could induce the settlement of larvae and plantigrade. In larvae, Bacillus sp.4 showed high inducing activity, while Phaeobacter sp.1 had low inducing activity. In plantigrades, Phaeobacter sp.1 showed high inducing activity, while Bacillus sp.4 showed low inducing activity. The polysaccharides and proteins from biofilms formed by Bacillus sp.4 and Phaeobacter sp.1 impacted larval settlement and metamorphosis, and the cell density, thickness and extracellular lipids of biofilm showed no effect on inducing activity of larval settlement and metamorphosis. For plantigrades, biofilm’s bacterial density, thickness and extracellular α-polysaccharide could induce plantigrades to the settlement, and the extracellular lipids and proteins of biofilms did not affect the settlement. This study is helpful for improving the healthy ecological culture of M. coruscus and to understand the settlement mechanism of M. coruscus.
