bacterial communities associated with healthy and acropora white syndrome-affected corals from american samoa.acropora white syndrome (aws) is characterized by rapid tissue loss revealing the white underlying skeleton and affects corals worldwide; however, reports of causal agents are conflicting. samples were collected from healthy and diseased corals and seawater around american samoa and bacteria associated with aws characterized using both culture-dependent and culture-independent methods, from coral mucus and tissue slurries, respectively. bacterial 16s rrna gene clone libraries derived from coral ...201222283330
pathogenicity and infection cycle of vibrio owensii in larviculture of the ornate spiny lobster (panulirus ornatus).the type strain of vibrio owensii (dy05) was isolated during an epizootic of aquaculture-reared larvae (phyllosomas) of the ornate spiny lobster (panulirus ornatus). v. owensii dy05 was formally demonstrated to be the etiological agent of a disease causing rapid and reproducible larval mortality with pathologies similar to those seen during disease epizootics. vectored challenge via the aquaculture live feed organism artemia (brine shrimp) caused consistent cumulative mortality rates of 84 to 89 ...201222307306
identification of an antagonistic probiotic combination protecting ornate spiny lobster (panulirus ornatus) larvae against vibrio owensii infection.vibrio owensii dy05 is a serious pathogen causing epizootics in the larviculture of ornate spiny lobster panulirus ornatus. in the present study a multi-tiered probiotic screening strategy was used to identify a probiotic combination capable of protecting p. ornatus larvae (phyllosomas) from experimental v. owensii dy05 infection. from a pool of more than 500 marine bacterial isolates, 91 showed definitive in vitro antagonistic activity towards the pathogen. antagonistic candidates were shortlis ...201222792184
vibrio owensii induces the tissue loss disease montipora white syndrome in the hawaiian reef coral montipora capitata.incidences of coral disease in the indo-pacific are increasing at an alarming rate. in particular, montipora white syndrome, a tissue-loss disease found on corals throughout the hawaiian archipelago, has the potential to degrade hawaii's reefs. to identify the etiologic agent of montipora white syndrome, bacteria were isolated from a diseased fragment of montipora capitata and used in a screen for virulent strains. a single isolate, designated strain ocn002, recreated disease signs in 53% of cor ...201223056419
vibrio inhibens sp. nov., a novel bacterium with inhibitory activity against vibrio species.strain bflp-10(t), isolated from faeces of wild long-snouted seahorses (hippocampus guttulatus), is a gram-negative, motile and facultatively anaerobic rod. this bacterium produces inhibitory activity against vibrio species. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that strain bflp-10(t) was a member of the genus vibrio and was most closely related to vibrio owensii (99%), vibrio communis (98.9%), vibrio sagamiensis (98.9%) and vibrio rotiferianus (98.4%). however, multilocu ...201222472571
probiont niche specialization contributes to additive protection against vibrio owensii in spiny lobster larvae.the development of efficient probiotic application protocols for use in marine larviculture relies on comprehensive understanding of pathogen-probiont-host interactions. the probiont combination of pseudoalteromonas sp. pp107 and vibrio sp. pp05 provides additive protection against vectored vibrio owensii dy05 infection in larvae (phyllosomas) of ornate spiny lobster, panulirus ornatus. here, fluorescently tagged strains were used to demonstrate niche specialization of these probionts in both th ...201223757129
virulence changes to harveyi clade bacteria infected with bacteriophage from vibrio owensii.vibrio owensii is one of the most virulent vibrios known being able to kill crustacean larvae at 10(2) cfu ml(-1). this study describes virulence changes to naïve strains of vibrio harveyi and vibrio campbellii when infected with the bacteriophage vob from a closely related species v. owensii 47666-1. the bacteriophage from v. owensii was induced into lytic phase by using mitomycin c at 100 ng ml(-1). one strain of v. harveyi and two strains of v. campbellii from 29 tested containing no prophage ...201324426274
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 ...201323710045
isolation and characterization of five lytic bacteriophages infecting a vibrio strain closely related to vibrio owensii.vibrio owensii is a potential bacterial pathogen in marine aquaculture system. in this study, five lytic phages specific against vibrio strain b8d, closely related to v. owensii, were isolated from seawater of an abalone farm. the phages were characterized with respect to morphology, genome size, growth phenotype, as well as thermal, and ph stability. all phages were found to belong to the family siphoviridae with long noncontractile tails and terminal fibers. restriction analysis indicated that ...201324102707
screening of marine bacteria with bacteriocin-like activities and probiotic potential for ornate spiny lobster (panulirus ornatus) juveniles.bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides, which have been found in diverse bacterial species of terrestrial origins and some from the sea. new bacteriocins with new characteristics, new origins and new applications are likely still awaiting discovery. the present study screened bacteria isolated from marine animals of interest to the aquaculture industry for antimicrobial and bacteriocin-like activities in order to uncover biodiversity of bacteriocin producers, and explore ...201424969424
