| chemical and biological properties of lipopolysaccharides from symbiotic luminous bacteria from several luminous marine animals. | the chemical and biological properties of lipopolysaccharides (lps) in five strains of symbiotic luminous bacteria isolated from four species of luminous marine fishes, coelorhynchus kishinouyei (ck-1), chlorophthalmus albatrossis (ca-1), ventrifossa garmani (vg-1), and acropoma japonicum (aj-1b), as well as from a luminous squid, doryteuthis kensaki (dk-1) were examined. the lps isolated from these symbiotic luminous bacteria were characterized by the absence of 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate, known to ... | 1983 | 6865804 |
| 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 |
