| identification of amino acid residues required for ferric-anguibactin transport in the outer-membrane receptor fata of vibrio anguillarum. | vibrio anguillarum 775 is a fish pathogen that causes a disease characterized by a fatal haemorrhagic septicaemia. it harbours the 65 kbp pjm1 plasmid, which encodes an iron sequestering system specific for the siderophore anguibactin and is essential for virulence. the genes involved in the biosynthesis of anguibactin are located on both the pjm1 plasmid and the chromosome. however, the genes for the outer-membrane receptor fata and the other transport proteins are only carried on the plasmid. ... | 2007 | 17259629 |
| mutation of a novel virulence-related gene mltd in vibrio anguillarum enhances lethality in zebra fish. | vibrio anguillarum, a halophilic gram-negative bacterium, is the causative agent of vibriosis, which is a major problem for the aquaculture industry worldwide. previously, a virulence-related gene fragment of v. anguillarum was obtained from a suppression subtractive hybridization (ssh) library. in this study, the complete gene sequence was obtained by long and accurate pcr (la-pcr). after sequence analysis and homologous comparison, this new virulence-related gene was revealed to encode a putat ... | 2010 | 21070855 |
| bacterial pathogens and flora isolated from farm-cultured eels (anguilla japonica) and their environmental waters in korean eel farms. | the purpose of this study was to investigate bacterial pathogens and flora in both sick and clinically healthy eels, anguilla japonica, and the environmental rearing waters of korean eel farms. between 2003 and 2010, a total of 621 sick eels were submitted for diagnosis, while 216 healthy eels and 87 environmental water samples were collected during a survey of 26 eel farms in korea. seven different bacterial species were obtained from 183 isolates, which were recovered from the internal organs ... | 2012 | 23357049 |
