| luxa gene of light organ symbionts of the bioluminescent fish acropoma japonicum (acropomatidae) and siphamia versicolor (apogonidae) forms a lineage closely related to that of photobacterium leiognathi ssp. mandapamensis. | a molecular phylogenetic analysis of luxa gene sequences of light organ symbionts of the fish acropoma japonicum (acropomatidae) and siphamia versicolor (apogonidae) revealed that the sequences were related to those of photobacterium leiognathi ssp. mandapamensis, which is not known to occur as a light organ symbiont among bioluminescent p. leiognathi clades. the presence of another lux gene element, luxf, coding for nonfluorescent protein, provided additional support for the identity of the lig ... | 2006 | 16842343 |
| phylogenetic diversity and cosymbiosis in the bioluminescent symbioses of "photobacterium mandapamensis". | "photobacterium mandapamensis" (proposed name) and photobacterium leiognathi are closely related, phenotypically similar marine bacteria that form bioluminescent symbioses with marine animals. despite their similarity, however, these bacteria can be distinguished phylogenetically by sequence divergence of their luminescence genes, luxcdab(f)e, by the presence (p. mandapamensis) or the absence (p. leiognathi) of luxf and, as shown here, by the sequence divergence of genes involved in the synthesi ... | 2007 | 17369329 |
| genome sequence of photobacterium mandapamensis strain svers.1.1, the bioluminescent symbiont of the cardinal fish siphamia versicolor. | photobacterium mandapamensis is one of three luminous photobacterium species able to form species-specific bioluminescent symbioses with marine fishes. here, we present the draft genome sequence of p. mandapamensis strain svers.1.1, the bioluminescent symbiont of the cardinal fish siphamia versicolor, the first genome of a symbiotic, luminous photobacterium species to be sequenced. analysis of the sequence provides insight into differences between p. mandapamensis and other luminous and symbioti ... | 2011 | 21478348 |
