relationship between ion requirements for respiration and membrane transport in a marine bacterium.intact cells of the marine bacterium alteromonas haloplanktis 214 oxidized nadh, added to the suspending medium, by a process which was stimulated by na+ or li+ but not k+. toluene-treated cells oxidized nadh at three times the rate of untreated cells by a mechanism activated by na+ but not by li+ or k+. in the latter reaction, k+ spared the requirement for na+. intact cells of a. haloplanktis oxidized ethanol by a mechanism stimulated by either na+ or li+. the uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyric ac ...19846690427
Production and characterization of a novel monoclonal antibody against Vibrio parahaemolyticus F(0)F(1) ATP synthase's delta subunit and its application for rapid identification of the pathogen.We raised monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Vibrio parahaemolyticus cell extracts. One of the MAbs, designated MAb-VP34, reacted in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) with 140 V. parahaemolyticus strains, regardless of serotype or origin. MAb-VP34 did not detectably react with 96 strains belonging to 27 other Vibrio species (except for Vibrio natriegens) or with 29 non-Vibrio species. These results show that MAb-VP34 is highly specific for V. parahaemolyticus. Western blotting and ma ...201222056232
Vibrio jasicida sp. nov., a member of the Harveyi clade, from marine animals (packhorse lobster, abalone, and Atlantic salmon).Six isolates of a facultatively anaerobic bacterium were recovered in culture from marine invertebrates and vertebrates, including packhorse lobster (Jasus verreauxi), abalone (Haliotis sp.) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) between 1994 and 2002. The bacteria are Gram-negative, rod shaped and motile by means of more than one polar flagellum, oxidase-positive, catalase-positive and able to grow between 0.5-8.0% NaCl (optimum 3.0-6.0%) and at temperatures of 10-37 °C (optimum 25-30 °C).
