symbiotic association of photobacterium fischeri with the marine luminous fish monocentris japonica; a model of symbiosis based on bacterial studies.	isolation of bacteria from the luminous organ of the fish monocentris japonica has revealed that the organ contains a pure culture of luminous bacteria. for the four fish examined, all contained photobacterium fischeri as their luminous bacterial symbiont. this is the first time that p. fischeri has been identified in a symbiotic association. a representative isolate (mjl) of the light organ population was selected for in vivo studies of its luminous system. several physiological features sugge ...	1976	1016667
detection of betanodaviruses in apparently healthy aquarium fishes and invertebrates.	betanodaviruses are the causative agents of viral nervous necrosis (vnn) in cultured marine fish. a total of 237 apparently healthy aquarium fish, marine (65 species) and freshwater (12 species) fishes and marine invertebrates (4 species), which were stocked in a commercial aquarium in seoul, south korea, were collected from november 2005 to february 2006. the brains of the fish and other tissues of the invertebrates were examined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) and n ...	2006	17106229
