| genomic and phylogenetic characterization of luminous bacteria symbiotic with the deep-sea fish chlorophthalmus albatrossis (aulopiformes: chlorophthalmidae). | bacteria forming light-organ symbiosis with deep-sea chlorophthalmid fishes (aulopiformes: chlorophthalmidae) are considered to belong to the species photobacterium phosphoreum. the identification of these bacteria as p. phosphoreum, however, was based exclusively on phenotypic traits, which may not discriminate between phenetically similar but evolutionarily distinct luminous bacteria. therefore, to test the species identification of chlorophthalmid symbionts, we carried out a genomotypic (repe ... | 2005 | 15691950 |
| photobacterium kishitanii sp. nov., a luminous marine bacterium symbiotic with deep-sea fishes. | six representatives of a luminous bacterium commonly found in association with deep, cold-dwelling marine fishes were isolated from the light organs and skin of different fish species. these bacteria were gram-negative, catalase-positive, and weakly oxidase-positive or oxidase-negative. morphologically, cells of these strains were coccoid or coccoid-rods, occurring singly or in pairs, and motile by means of polar flagellation. after growth on seawater-based agar medium at 22 degrees c for 18 h, ... | 2007 | 17766874 |
| branchiibius hedensis gen. nov., sp. nov., an actinobacterium isolated from a japanese codling (physiculus japonicus). | a novel, gram-stain-positive bacterial strain, mer 29717(t), was isolated from the branchia (gills) of a japanese codling, physiculus japonicus, collected from bottom waters of suruga bay in shizuoka, japan. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences indicated that this strain represents a distinct lineage within the family dermacoccaceae and was related most closely to members of the genera demetria and yimella. it shared highest 16s rrna gene sequence similarity (95.1 %) with yimel ... | 2011 | 20562243 |
