| 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 |
| bacterial communities associated with porites white patch syndrome (pwps) on three western indian ocean (wio) coral reefs. | the scleractinian coral porites lutea, an important reef-building coral on western indian ocean reefs (wio), is affected by a newly-reported white syndrome (ws) the porites white patch syndrome (pwps). histopathology and culture-independent molecular techniques were used to characterise the microbial communities associated with this emerging disease. microscopy showed extensive tissue fragmentation generally associated with ovoid basophilic bodies resembling bacterial aggregates. results of 16s ... | 2013 | 24391819 |
| vibrio fortis sp. nov. and vibrio hepatarius sp. nov., isolated from aquatic animals and the marine environment. | in this study, the taxonomic positions of 19 vibrio isolates disclosed in a previous study were evaluated. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rdna sequences partitioned these isolates into groups that were closely related (98.8-99.1 % similarity) to vibrio pelagius and vibrio xuii, respectively. dna-dna hybridization experiments further showed that these groups had <70 % similarity to other vibrio species. two novel vibrio species are proposed to accommodate these groups: vibrio fortis sp. nov. ... | 2003 | 13130038 |
