PIGMENT OF FLAVOBACTERIUM PISCICIDA

Pseudomonas (flavobacterium) Piscicida Bein Comb. Nov.

Osmiophilic structure in pigment-producing Flavobacterium mutants.

A highly osmiophilic structure observed in all pigment-producing mutants of Flavobacterium examined is described. Several factors favor the possibility that this structure might be related to pigment synthesis or pigment accumulation.

STUDIES OF FLAVOBACTERIUM PISCICIDA BEIN: I. Growth, Toxicity, and Ecological Considerations.

Species of Flavobacterium are abundant in marine environments, occurring in sea water and sediments as well as in the slime and feces of various fish. The activity of flavobacteria in fish spoilage is not uncommon (Castell and Mapplebeck, 1952). Other than the studies of these latter workers, only the investigations of MacLeod and his associates (MacLeod et al., 1954, 1958) deal, to any extent,...

Pfiesteria piscicida Bibliography

The presence of P. piscicida in Chesapeake Bay is documented. The appearance and behavior of the algae and symptoms associated with fish mortality were consistent with those previously observed in P. piscicida-associated aquaria fish kills in North Carolina. The discovery of P. piscicida in Chesapeake Bay shows that dinoflagellates have a dramatic and far-reaching impact on fish stocks in shall...

Flavobacterium hauense sp. nov., isolated from soil and emended descriptions of Flavobacterium subsaxonicum, Flavobacterium beibuense and Flavobacterium rivuli.

A strictly aerobic, Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, designated BX12(T), was isolated from soil collected from the peak area of Wudang Mountain in the city of Shiyan, Hubei province, China. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BX12(T) was most closely related to Flavobacterium subsaxonicum WB 4.1-42(T) (95.9% 1...
