| vibrio azureus emits blue-shifted light via an accessory blue fluorescent protein. | luminous marine bacteria usually emit bluish-green light with a peak emission wavelength (λ(max) ) at about 490 nm. some species belonging to the genus photobacterium are exceptions, producing an accessory blue fluorescent protein (lumazine protein: lump) that causes a blue shift, from λ(max) ≈ 490 to λ(max) ≈ 476 nm. however, the incidence of blue-shifted light emission or the presence of accessory fluorescent proteins in bacteria of the genus vibrio has never been reported. from our spectral ... | 2012 | 22268378 |
| taxonomic revision of harveyi clade bacteria (family vibrionaceae) based on analysis of whole genome sequences. | use of inadequate methods for classification of bacteria in the so-called harveyi clade (family vibrionaceae, gammaproteobacteria) has led to incorrect assignment of strains and proliferation of synonymous species. in order to resolve taxonomic ambiguities within the harveyi clade and to test usefulness of whole genome sequence data for classification of vibrionaceae, draft genome sequences of 12 strains were determined and analysed. the sequencing included type strains of seven species: vibrio ... | 2013 | 23710045 |
| study the symbiotic crude oil-degrading bacteria in the mussel mactra stultorum collected from the persian gulf. | symbiotic associations are complex partnerships that can lead to new metabolic capabilities and the establishment of novel organisms. the diversity of these associations is very broad and there are still many mysteries about the origin and the exact relationship between the organisms that are involved in a symbiosis. the aim of the present study is to find symbiotic crude-oil degrading bacteria in the mussels that collected from the persian gulf. fifteen crude-oil degrading bacteria were isolate ... | 2016 | 26922360 |
| vibrio azureus sp. nov., a luminous marine bacterium isolated from seawater. | two luminous marine bacterial strains, lc2-005(t) and lc2-102, were isolated from seawater at kuroshio region and sagami bay in japan, respectively. these bacteria were gram-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase-positive, motile and rod-shaped. on the basis of 16s rrna gene sequence analysis, strains lc2-005(t) and lc2-102 formed a cluster within the vibrio harveyi species group. however, multilocus sequence analysis using five loci (pyrh, ftsz, mreb, gyrb and gapa) and dna-dna hybridization expe ... | 2009 | 19542136 |
