The efficacy and subsurface application of Zequanox®, a commercially prepared spray-dried powder formulation of Pseudomonas fluorescens (strain CL145A), were evaluated for controlling zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) within 27-m2 enclosures in Lake Minnetonka (Deephaven, Minnesota). Five treatments consisting of (1) two whole water column Zequanox applications, (2) two subsurface Zequanox applications, and (3) an untreated control were completed on each of three independent treatment days during September 2014. The two types of samplers used in the study were (1) custom built multi-plate samplers (type 1 samplers), with wood, perforated aluminum, and tile substrates that were placed into Robinson’s Bay in June...

Alternatives to chemicals for controlling dreissenid mussels are desirable for environmental compatibility, but few alternatives exist. Previous studies have evaluated the use of electrified fields for stunning and/or killing planktonic life stages of dreissenid mussels, however, the available literature on the use of electrified fields to control adult dreissenid mussels is limited. We evaluated the effects of sinusoidal alternating current (AC) and square- wave pulse direct current (PDC) exposure on the survival of zebra mussels at water temperatures of 10, 15, and 22°C. Peak voltage gradients of ~ 17 and 30 Vp/cm in the AC and PDC exposures, respectively, were continuously applied for 24, 48, or 72 h. Peak power...

Zequanox® is a commercial formulation of the killed bacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens (strain CL145A) that has USEPA approval for use in open water to kill dreissenid mussels. Previous nontarget studies demonstrated the safety and selectivity of the product, but the database is limited for macroinvertebrate taxa and exposure conditions. We evaluated the safety of the product to two high value macroinvertebrates, the amphipod Gammarus lacustris lacutris, and nymphs of the burrowing mayfly, Hexagenia spp., at the maximum approved concentration (100 mg/L A.I.) and exposure duration (8 h). Survival of animals was measured at the end of 8 h exposure and at 24 h post-exposure and 96 h post-exposure. Additionally, histological...

The effects of temperature and concentration on the viscosity, settling, and distribution of Zequanox®, a dead-cell spray-dried powder formulation of Pseudomonas fluorescens (strain CL145A) used for controlling invasive dreissenid mussels (zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, and quagga mussel, Dreissena bugensis), was investigated. Laboratory tests examined viscosity, delivery and sink rates, mixing, settling, and diffusion characteristics at varying temperatures and concentrations to determine optimal target viscosity for subsurface injection of Zequanox. Furthermore, this target viscosity was used to predict the optimal concentrations of Zequanox at three different environmental temperatures that were later injected...
