vibrio neptunius sp. nov., vibrio brasiliensis sp. nov. and vibrio xuii sp. nov., isolated from the marine aquaculture environment (bivalves, fish, rotifers and shrimps).	the fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (faflp) groups a5 (21 isolates), a8 (6 isolates) and a23 (3 isolates) distinguished in an earlier paper (thompson et al., syst appl microbiol 24, 520-538, 2001) were examined in more depth. these three groups were phylogenetically related to vibrio tubiashii, but dna-dna hybridization experiments proved that the three aflp groups are in fact novel species. chemotaxonomic and phenotypic analyses further revealed several differences among the ...	2003	12656180
use of reca as an alternative phylogenetic marker in the family vibrionaceae.	this study analysed the usefulness of reca gene sequences as an alternative phylogenetic and/or identification marker for vibrios. the reca sequences suggest that the genus vibrio is polyphyletic. the high heterogeneity observed within vibrios was congruent with former polyphasic taxonomic studies on this group. photobacterium species clustered together and apparently nested within vibrios, while grimontia hollisae was apart from other vibrios. within the vibrios, vibrio cholerae and vibrio mimi ...	2004	15143042
pathogenicity of vibrios to rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss, walbaum) and artemia nauplii.	the taxonomy of marine vibrios has changed rapidly over the last two decades, and a wealth of new species have been identified. many vibrio species are pathogenic to fish and crustaceans; however, little is known about the virulence of many of the novel species. the purpose of this study was to determine the ability of various recent isolates of vibrios to cause disease in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss, walbaum) and crustacea, i.e. artemia nauplii. of 56 isolates, representing 26 species of ...	2005	16104871
vibrio sinaloensis sp. nov., isolated from the spotted rose snapper, lutjanus guttatus steindachner, 1869.	nine bacterial strains were studied by means of rep-pcr, 16s rrna gene sequence analysis, dna-dna hybridization and physiological characterization. typing analysis by means of rep-pcr showed that all nine strains were highly homogeneous, with similarities above 94 %. the strains were isolated from the same geographical area (mazatlán, sinaloa state, mexico) and the same type of host (cultured rose snapper, lutjanus guttatus), although from different individuals and organs. comparison of the almo ...	2008	18599705
vibrio variabilis sp. nov. and vibrio marinus sp. nov., isolated from palythoa caribaeorum.	two novel vibrio isolates (r-40492t and r-40493t) originated from the zoanthid palythoa caribaeorum in brazil in 2005 were taxonomically characterized by means of a polyphasic approach, comprising multilocus sequence analysis (mlsa), dna-dna hybridizations (ddh), tm, and phenotypic characterization. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that r-40492t and r-40493t fell within the genus vibrio, and were most closely related to each other with 99 % similarity. the similarity ...	2011	21296931
vibrio caribbeanicus sp. nov., isolated from marine sponge scleritoderma cyanea.	a gram-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile and curved rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from a marine sponge (phylum porifera, scleritoderma cyanea) collected from a depth of 795 feet off of the west coast of curacao. on the basis of 16s rrna gene sequencing, strain n384(t) was shown to belong to the genus vibrio, most closely related to v. brasiliensis lmg 20546(t) (98.8%), v. nigripulchritudo atcc 27043(t) (98.5%), v. tubiashii atcc 19109(t) (98.6%) a ...	2011	21930677
characterisation of a marine bacterium vibrio brasiliensis t33 producing n-acyl homoserine lactone quorum sensing molecules.	n-acylhomoserine lactones (ahl) plays roles as signal molecules in quorum sensing (qs) in most gram-negative bacteria. qs regulates various physiological activities in relation with population density and concentration of signal molecules. with the aim of isolating marine water-borne bacteria that possess qs properties, we report here the preliminary screening of marine bacteria for ahl production using chromobacterium violaceum cv026 as the ahl biosensor. strain t33 was isolated based on prelim ...	2014	25006994
an o2-sensing stressosome from a gram-negative bacterium.	bacteria have evolved numerous pathways to sense and respond to changing environmental conditions, including, within gram-positive bacteria, the stressosome complex that regulates transcription of general stress response genes. however, the signalling molecules recognized by gram-positive stressosomes have yet to be identified, hindering our understanding of the signal transduction mechanism within the complex. furthermore, an analogous pathway has yet to be described in gram-negative bacteria. ...	2016	27488264
vibrio japonicus sp. nov., a novel member of the nereis clade in the genus vibrio isolated from the coast of japan.	a novel vibrio strain, jcm 31412t, was isolated from seawater collected from the inland sea (setonaikai), japan, and characterized as a gram-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile, ovoid-shaped bacterium with one polar flagellum. based on 16s rdna gene identity, strain jcm 31412t showed a close relationship with type strains of vibrio brasiliensis (lmg 20546t, 98.2% identity), v. harveyi (nbrc 15634t, 98.2%), v. caribbeanicus (atcc baa-2122t, 97.8%) and v. ...	2017	28231272
