| vibrio owensii sp. nov., isolated from cultured crustaceans in australia. | two bacterial strains (dy05(t) and 47666-1) were isolated in queensland, australia, from diseased cultured crustaceans panulirus ornatus and penaeus monodon, respectively. on the basis of 16s rrna gene sequence identity, the strains were shown to belong to the harveyi clade of the genus vibrio. multilocus sequence analysis using five housekeeping genes (rpoa, pyrh, topa, ftsz and mreb) showed that the strains form a monophyletic group with 94.4% concatenated sequence identity to the closest spec ... | 2010 | 20002183 |
| first description of 'chalky back' phenomenon in banana prawns (fenneropenaeus merguiensis) and its possible association with vibrio and photobacterium species. | here we report a newly identified 'chalky back' phenomenon in banana prawns (fenneropenaeus merguiensis) farmed in north queensland, australia. this was characterized by localized white discoloured segmentation of the cervical groove, moreover, after cooking the prawns exploded, making them unfit for commercial sale. histological examination revealed breakdown of gut and abdominal muscle tissue in some moribund specimens. we selectively isolated vibrio spp., which are known prawn pathogens, from ... | 2016 | 26825678 |
