STUDIES OF FLAVOBACTERIUM PISCICIDA BEIN

Pseudomonas (flavobacterium) Piscicida Bein Comb. Nov.

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,...

Taxonomy of Pseudomonas Piscicida (bein) Buck, Meyers, and Leifson.

Hansen, A. J. (University of Idaho, Moscow), O. B. Weeks, and R. R. Colwell. Taxonomy of Pseudomonas piscicida (Bein) Buck, Meyers, and Leifson. J. Bacteriol. 89:752-761. 1965.-Twenty strains of marine bacteria showing the properties of pigmentation and icthyotoxicity were studied for selected physiological features. A quantitative taxonomic analysis with an electronic computer was performed. E...

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...

Specificity studies on the heparin lyases from Flavobacterium heparinum.

An understanding of the substrate specificity study of the heparin lyases (heparinase and heparitinases) is crucial for elucidation of the sequence of heparin and heparan sulfate. Four chemically modified heparins have been used to study the substrate specificity of the three heparin lyases. These modified heparins include the N- and O-desulfated and then specifically N-sulfated or N-acetylated...
